Abstract: (1041 Views) |
| The approach of this study is to survey the geographical knowledge of Masŭdi in the book of Morŭj-al-zahab va Maăden-al-javăher. Masoudi studies the social and historical phenomena in their geographical background by pathing through narrative methods to a rational-philosophical approach. He explains the universe and human interaction with nature and the influence of geographical location and nature of each country on its inhabitants from political, mood, moral character and physical perspectives, using the pre-knowledge and Greek and Persian religious-traditional postulates. This study discusses the interactions and relationships between Human and Geography and also relation between geographical insight and attitudes of the historian and his historical understanding and postulates. Masŭdi and his souvenirs are against the historiography and historical view of Islamic civilization territory. He is not a court historian, finds himself free and thinks free. He never chooses the realm of power and wealth, for his field of historiography, but the human civilization and the place of Islamic civilization in its. He is the child and fostered of the Age of "Islamic Renaissance". |
