A Look at the Sacred Paradigm in the Philosophy of Literature and Art in Contemporary Iran

This is an essay or article examining the concept of paradigm in art and literature. A paradigm, as the text explains, refers to the dominant models and examples that shape the thinking and expression of scholars and artists in different periods. The passage argues that many artists align themselves with prevailing intellectual systems of their time. In Iran from around 1941 onwards, the text notes, most artists and writers devoted themselves to promoting Marxism as the dominant paradigm, while in the 1960s, self-referential modern art in the Kantian tradition attracted numerous artists and writers. The text appears to explore how dominant intellectual frameworks have influenced Iranian cultural production across different eras.
