Abstract:   (9638 Views)
Because of its unique story – educational features, Klila and Demna has a certain commonality and reputation both in demostic literature and in the world literature. This book is the result of cultural exchanges among the great oriental civilizations (India, Iran and Islam) The main theme includes mainly the moral and political concepts interwoven in different layers (infrastructure and superstructure), leaving a work that one can hardly distinguish between the limist arias of ethics and politics in it. However, a deep exploration of the content of Klile and Demna reveals that. unlike the initial thought, there is a historical isputes, between ethics and politics running in different sections of it. Diving the book into the two layers of infrastructure and superstructure, this challenge will appear more obviously. Deliberation of the author(s) of klila and Demna on the necessity of dominance of ethics over politics has caused the outcome of every story to end with a certain moral results. However, during the story, especially in infrastructure layer, there are characters who, like Melancholy, believe in demoralization of politics. Therefore, we see many similarities between the Melancholia thoughts and the themes of some stories and characters of the book. Key words: Ethical critique, ethics and politics, klila and Demna, melancholy.
