Abstract
despite extensive researches about khaqani , the functional aspect of his sufism has been studied from the perspective of practical philosophy . the present article aims at reviewing khaqani's sufism as a lived experience and testable in the light of pragmatism 's criteria . the main purpose of this paper is to examine the similarities between the empirical realization of mystical teachings in khaqani's mysticism and the practical truth of belief in the philosophy of pragmatism . the research method is qualitative - comparative . the data are extracted from khaqani's prose and prose works and historical reports of historical biographical sources and based on three conceptual levels of " " outcome " " , " " usefulness " " and " " the realm of fulfillment " " . the findings show that khaqani's mystical teachings , such as solitude , solitude , love , poverty and immortality , have empirical and experiential functions and as far as they can work in the mental , moral and social life of man . his sufism , like james 's philosophical system , believes truth not in constant entities but also in the power of action , i.e. the result and the biological usefulness of faith . on this basis , khaqani's mysticism creates a system of " the practical truth of belief " in which meaning is fulfilled only in the context of experience and human life .
