Abstract

This article, by analytic- critical method, attends to Shaygan’s mystic interpretation of art, by seeking its Heideggerian context. Now, in the age of spirituality, we consider the case of artistic- mystic spirituality and we know that the case is going to be developed in this modern time. So this article, considering its topic and its subject, should be acknowledged as an important case study. As a summarized result, it is clear that: Shaygan is influenced by Heidegger at the first step of his philosophical career, and also he followed Heidegger at the final step of his artistic- mystic meditations. But it seems that Shaygan is more experienced during his life and so we know that his long experiences have been driven as an obstacle to read art as a mystic way of life. Shaygan’s interpretation of art is limited and conditioned to the critical judgment of reason. After all, it seems that Shaygan couldn’t set a solid relationship between reason, mysticism, and art in the challenge of the traditional and modern world.
