Abstract:
The aim of this article is to discover the differences in the views of Hegel and Rumi regarding the Absolute. Accordingly, we will first examine the concept of the Absolute and its emergence in various matters from Hegel's perspective. From Hegel's perspective, the Absolute shows its nature and soul in logic. The emergence of the Absolute in the soul is based on numerous tripods that ultimately lead to the Absolute. According to Hegel's perspective, the path of the various tripods ultimately leads to the Absolute. This perspective indicates his idea of existential unity. He has referred to the importance of this issue in his works and acknowledges that Rumi is a pioneer in this field. Therefore, we will try to compare the merciful soul with the Absolute. Because the merciful soul is also formed based on a unitary view of existence. The conceptual explanation of the merciful soul and the explanation of its emergence in the determinations of truth and creation will largely show the degree of similarity between the views of Hegel and Rumi. However, it seems that there are many differences between these two thinkers regarding simplicity, creation, and the absolute.
