In this paper, we try to research into
concept of “Art” in Iranian culture based on
“Minu ye xrad” essay. For this goal, first
we explain the nessecity of this inquiry and
then by indicating its method we describe the
relation between art and ethics in “Minu ye
xrad” essay. In second part of this study, we
compare the result of the first part with Plato’s
point of view. We show briefly that “Art” and
“Ethics” are associated in “Minu ye xrad”
essay and Plato’s view and this is by reason
of special ontological view. A difference
between “Minu ye xrad” essay and Plato’s
point of view is the consideration of Artist’s
position. In “Minu ye xrad” essay artist has an
intermediate position, but in Plato’s point of
view artist’s position is declined considerably.
