Images of Monarchs in the Literary Works of
Eastern Poets and Thinkers
Abstract
This article examines the concept of the “Supreme Intellect” as an organizational principle for governing a utopian state structure. Since antiquity, the notion of the ideal, along with the image of the ideal monarch, has been considered within political, social, and philosophical-aesthetic frameworks. The issue in question defines the worldview and the ethno-cultural specificity of each nation.
Medieval Arab philosophy, closely interwoven with Islam, gave rise to the Arab-Islamic philosophical tradition. As a result of extensive scholarly work, the intellectual legacy of the ancient world was thoroughly studied and adapted within the framework of Islam. The collective intellect of that period gradually began to form on the basis of philosophical and social reflections on the purpose of human creation and the reconstruction of the model of the just ruler.
