Abstract

Poetic images are primary elements in the essays Kamal Abodeib and Mohammad Reza Shafiee Kadkani and are of the most important criteria in the poetry criticism of Iranian and Arabic critics in all periods of times. This aspects of aesthetic cognition of poetry in the contemporary period was considered by the critics of the two languages and some predominant Iranian and Arabian critics wrote independently on this topic. Kamal Abodeib and Shafiee Kadkani are instances of these critics which have presented new and bright viewpoints in the field of imaginative figures in their outstanding creations. A critical view with a new critical state in the field of poetic images and compilation of independent books on this topic have obliged use to take part in a research and comparison of the various opinions of these two critics in the field of poetry images. A research in the field of imaginary figures of poems illustrates a general view of the critic to this phenomenon of aesthetic cognition and his research is a research in the oral structure of a literary essay. This critic justified the opinion of Abdolghaher Jorjani who believes poetry images are primary, dynamic and lively elements in the creation of an artistic essay. He believes that coordination between meaning level and psychological level can improve poetry figures. Shafiee’s research on imaginary figures shows that he has a profound and impressive look in this field. He knows the imaginary figures as a collection of visual images. Unlike Abodeib’s manner, his course as a critic is completely partial and elaborated. This critic like Abodeib used an adaptive method and after a discussion of some theoretic problems in this zone adapted these with poetic instances.
