Abstract
The question of cognition in human life is a long-standing and central issue that has arisen from the beginning of human thought about existence. The set of ideas presented in this regard has created the field of epistemology. There are original and interesting points about cognition in Rumi’s mystical heritage and an important part of his views on this subject is related to the discussion of human cognitive errors and limitations. This question has also been proposed in various ways in the Western philosophical tradition and has received answers and explanations. In this research, using a descriptive-analytical method and adopting a comparative approach an attempt has been made to investigate the multiple dimensions of human cognitive errors and limitations from Rumi’s perspective. To that end, we have also reviewed the evolutionary course of the subject in the Western philosophical tradition. Therefore, categories such as reason, experience, illusion, imagination, existence and appearance of the world have been dealt with followed by quotations and analyses of Rumi’s views on this subject. Finally, it is shown how Rumi also explored and expressed the multiple aspects of errors and limitations of human cognition and what similarities his views bear to the Western philosophical tradition. Moreover, the differences and similarities between the attitudes of philosophers and mystics towards the nature and quality of cognition have been studied. The most important differences can be seen in the pivotal role of reason among philosophers and its invalidity for some other aspects of cognition among mystics. On the other hand, the allegory of the cave in Plato’s philosophy and the question of existence and appearance of the world, and the role of imagination in investigating the world in the eyes of eighteenth-century idealist philosophers are very similar to the fundamentals of epistemology in Rumi’s views. It is found that part of Rumi’s views on describing the position of reason and human’s cognitive limitations is similar to the views of seventeenth-century rationalist epistemologists, and in terms of the special position of experience in cognition and its limitations, it is close to those of eighteenth-century empiricists.

Abstract
Mystical ethics is a set of epistemological models that their results and functions are manifestations of God’s attributes in the mystic and their aim is perfecting and bringing man from the lowest level of his existence to the highest level of perfection. This can be achieved through following the path of God and dwelling in spiritual homes and by abstaining from vices and adornment with virtues and through austerity and effort. Attention to this rich and prolific spiritual concept is very prominent in Jami’s Masnavi of Haft Awrang. Based on a descriptive-analytical method the aim of this study is first to define mystical ethics and then to extract and express some of the themes of mystical ethics in the Masnavi of Haft Awrang, which are proposed in three areas of “Man’s relationship with God”, “Man’s relationship with himself” and “Man’s relationship with other men” and within five domains of “ideological-epistemological”, “emotional-affective”, “voluntary”, “action” and “speech”. By studying this Masnavi, we find that Jami tried to encourage his audience to observe mystical ethics based on serving God. Thus, the themes used in this Masnavi mainly revolve around the area of man’s relationship with God.

Abstract
The issue of "subject" is the most important indicator of the distinction between classical and modern literature. "I" in classical literature is often general and abstract, but in contemporary literature, following modern philosophy, I is individualized and concrete, in other words, an active subject. Perhaps the most obvious manifestation of this paradigm shift - especially in poetry - can be seen in the type of encounter with the "subject". Contemporary poetry, from its most superficial romantic aspect to its most complex philosophical aspect, expresses a self-sufficient subject whose origin is human-centered.Ahmad Shamlou is one of the poets whose"I" is subject in his poetry. This research deals with the hermeneutics of self/subject in his poetry by the method of qualitative content analysis and critical reading, by studying the collection of Shamlou's poems and selecting suggestive examples. Since this I/Self/Subject has been subjected to turbulences and changes during the six decades of writing poetry, the theoretical support of the discussion is based on these developments, and also deals with the philosophical subject which emphasizes on individual thought and consciousness. and to a subject that is a social construct; That is why it is a compilation of the theoretical support of the article is a synthesis of Michel Foucault's discussions about the hermeneutics of self and governing oneself and others, the theory of symbolic interaction that deals with the individual I and Me, the theory of existentialism that focuses on freedom, choice and responsibility. Finally, because "I" in Shamlou's political poetry is as an ideological pseudo-subject under submission of the Tudeh party, but in his philosophical poetry, the result of knowledge and awareness based on his own lived experience, and thinking on existence, man, life and death, as the supreme subject (Subject), which leads to the formation of the subject in Althusser's view.
