Abstract
Sensory perception is knowledge about the world outside the mind that is obtained through the human senses. One of the approaches to sensory perception is phenomenalism, which does not believe in the existence of objects independent of the mind, but considers the object as a phenomenon of the mind and denies the reality of physical objects. Although the subject of sensory perception is one of the main topics of philosophy and epistemology, looking at mystical works, it can be seen that the discussion of perception and the relationship between the object and the mind is one of the topics of mystical works, and many mystics, including Attar Neyshaburi, have addressed this issue in detail. Attar Neyshaburi has expressed the stages of cognition and perception in his poetic works. he considers the world to be nothing and non- existence, and he constantly emphasizes the issue of negating the world and its non-existence. The aim of this research is to show that Attar’s negation of the world and is not a religious or moral issue that results in the negation of this world in comparison with the otherworld. Rather, the insignificance of the world in Attar’s thought is an epistemological and philosophical issue that considers the world to be a form and phenomenon of the mind. In fact, Attar’s approach to the Sensory perception is a phenomenalist approach that considers the object to be dependent on the mind. In this article, using a descriptive-analytical method, sensory perception of Attar Neyshaburi are examined.
