Abstract

Abstract: Basically, philosophy and mysticism are closely related and can not be separated. Mystics in different periods and times have had many thoughts and ideas that are close to each other. From this passage, practical and mystical teachings and experiences such as leaving the world, the soul, inner purification, discovery and intuition, and the unity of existence are among the common topics between Neoplatonic philosophy and Islamic mysticism. Neoplatonic wisdom has been one of the most important philosophical schools of ancient Greece, which Plotin was able to upgrade to a coherent system of thought. For this reason, the authors in this article have analy zed the logic of Altair Attar with a descriptive-analytical method in order to show the degree of interaction of these ideas. The result of the research shows that Attar Neishabouri's thoughts in the logic of al-Tayr are influenced by the thoughts of Plotinus, and his thoughts have common points with thoughts such as creation and the order before the issue of reason, the union of the wise and reasonable, the wandering of the soul, the destruction of God and the classification of people. It is very interestin
Key words: Attar, Plotinus, Annihilation, mantegh Altair, Neoplatonic Thoughts.
