Ontological and ethical problems in the works of Samed Behrengi

Samed Behrangi is a prominent author who masterfully combines social critique and philosophical depth, particularly in children's literature. During his time, Behrangi took a bold stand against the oppressive Shah regime, embedding universal values such as justice, equality, and freedom into his works. His tales and stories for children go beyond simple language, offering multi-layered narratives that convey profound messages even to adult readers. This study aims to examine Behrangi's works within the context of ontological and ethical issues, providing a detailed analysis of his philosophical and critical approach. Ontologically, the research focuses on how concepts such as time, space, and change are addressed in his works, revealing that change is scrutinized in relation to unchanging elements through the fundamental dynamics of existence. Ethically, issues such as injustice, prejudice, the restriction of individual freedom, and inequality are analyzed in relation to family, environment, religion, and social structures. Behrangi's critical perspective not only questions the social and political structure of his era but also highlights individual ethical responsibilities and the importance of social awareness. By exploring the critical thought in Behrangi's works through the interplay of literature and philosophy, the study uncovers their potential to foster individual awareness and contribute to social transformation. His works are shown to possess a profound philosophical foundation that appeals to a broad audience while enriching the connection between literature and philosophy. Additionally, they serve as a significant example of how children's literature can act as a tool for education while simultaneously addressing deep philosophical concerns. The primary aim of this research is to analyze the ontological and ethical issues in Behrangi's works, shedding light on how these issues are addressed and the meanings they convey.
