PHILOSOPHICAL IDEAS IN ALI KERIM'S CREATIVE WORK

Abstract Ali Karim has a special role in enriching poetry with new artistic and philosophical shades in 20th century Azerbaijani literature. In his lyrics, he touched upon topics such as the meaning of human life, the problem of time and death, the contradictions of existence, and the inner freedom of man, creating a deep philosophical and psychological line in national poetry. Ali Karim's poetry combines both the traces of classical Eastern philosophy and the influences of European modernist thoughts. In his poems, topics such as the transience of time, mortality, death and immortality have acquired a deep philosophical meaning. While defining the position of man in front of existence, the poet benefited from both the Sufi-philosophical heritage of Eastern poetry and the Western literary and philosophical tradition.
