Abstract

Presuming death similarities in Indian-style poets and the works of scholars of Existential philosophy, the current study seeks to accurately examine these similarities to deal with their common ramifications and formation backgrounds. Based on the findings of this study, due to the similar socio-political conditions during the Safavid period and Europe during the First and Second World Wars, there are many resemblances concerning death between Indian-style poets and the works of Existential philosophy scholars. These scholars perceive death as an Existential notion, which leads to individuality and the differentiation of individuals. The fact that the understanding of death solely belongs to human beings results in saving humans from meaninglessness. These scholars of Existential philosophy have composed their works with this understanding of death. Like the scholars of Existential philosophers, the Indian-style poets accept death and turn away from the idea of eternal life. Hence, they devote their lives to composing poetry and creating new themes, which bespeaks their individuality. Indeed, by providing pleasure to their audience, the Indian-style poets give meaning to their lives.
