Abstract

In this paper, after a qvick reference to Coleridge's view on imagination, an attempt is made to have a new look at this concept. Three faculties were believed by philosophers and physicians to exist in mind: 1) fancy which is the store of perceived images 2) memory and 3) imagination which is on the one hand related to the memory and on the hand to the fancy.In th next part of the peper, different predicatcs are explained. Three stories -- "Elahi- Nameh", "Mantegh al-Tayr", "Mosibat- Nameh" and some stories about some Sufi learned men narrated by Attar in "Tazkere-Al Oulia" are analysed and interpreted.
