ARTISTIC AND LOGICAL GRADATION OF HUMAN SPIRITUAL ASCENT A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE DEBATE BETWEEN FARHAD AND XUSROW

This article presents a comparative analysis of the artistic and logical gradational model of human spiritual ascent based on the debate episode between Farhad and Khosrow in Farhod va Shirin by Alisher Navoi and Xusrav va Shirin by Nizami Ganjavi.The study argues that this episode is not merely a romantic rivalry, but a philosophical construct revealing a hierarchy of values. In Navoi’s interpretation, gradation rises from emotional dramatism to a consciously structured ethical system, which is demonstrated through scholarly analysis.
