Moreover, humanity names the world through this poetic nature. In historical societies, due to disruptions in consciousness, the meanings of names and words evolve, each word having a history that reflects the transformation of the consciousness of the people who speak that language. For example, the approximate equivalent of the word we now use for \"art\" in Aramaic and Syriac is \"umanuta,\" meaning \"creating from nothing\" (the Latin word \"human\" also derives from this root). The word \"art\" itself originates from the Greek word \"arete,\" which is etymologically related to the Avestan \"arta\" and Old Persian \"arta,\" all meaning the order of existence. The altered form of this word continues as the prefix \"art\" in words such as \"article\" and \"artery,\" signifying connection and order. However, the core meaning carried by the Greek \"arete\" was later transferred to the word \"virtue,\" gaining a more complex meaning in Machiavellian texts.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nLuster Tile Probably from Takht-e Soleyman Metropolitan Museum of Art Late 13th century AD\n\n\n\nTherefore, the fundamental change from the Greek word \"techne\" to the Latin \"ingenium\" marks a shift in the history of consciousness and the entry into a new world. In the early Middle Ages, all forms of art were called \"engine,\" and artists were referred to as \"engineers\" (a word we now use for \"engineering\" with a different meaning). In this new context, art was understood as the order and norms..."}{"@context":"http://schema.org/","@type":"WebSite","@id":"herfeh-honarmand.com-website-site","url":"https://herfeh-honarmand.com","name":"\u062d\u0631\u0641\u0647: \u0647\u0646\u0631\u0645\u0646\u062f","potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://herfeh-honarmand.com?s={search_term_string}","query-input":"required s=search_term_string"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","@id":"herfeh-honarmand.com-organization-brand","url":"https://herfeh-honarmand.com","name":"\u062d\u0631\u0641\u0647: \u0647\u0646\u0631\u0645\u0646\u062f","description":"\u0646\u0634\u0631\u06cc\u0647 \u0647\u0646\u0631\u0647\u0627\u06cc \u062a\u0635\u0648\u06cc\u0631\u06cc","sameAs":["https://www.instagram.com/herfeh.honarmand/","https://twitter.com/herfehhonarmand","https://t.me/herfeh_honarmand","https://www.youtube.com/@herfeh.honarmand"]}}{"@context":"http://schema.org/","@type":"WebPage","@id":"herfeh-honarmand.com-webpage-english-articlesan-introduction-to-the-history-of-art-and-culture-of-iran","url":"http://herfeh-honarmand.com/english-articles/an-introduction-to-the-history-of-art-and-culture-of-iran/","name":"Lecture One \u2013 Introduction","about":"An Introduction to the History of Art and Culture of Iran Ariasp Dadbeh The upcoming lectures aim to draft an introduction to the “History of Art and Culture of Iran.” Therefore, as a first step, we will briefly examine the terms “art,” “history of art,” “culture,” and “Iran,” with the note that many of the […]","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"herfeh-honarmand.com-website-site","url":"https://herfeh-honarmand.com","name":"\u062d\u0631\u0641\u0647: \u0647\u0646\u0631\u0645\u0646\u062f"},"breadcrumb":{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","name":"\u062f\u0646\u0628\u0627\u0644\u0647 \u0622\u062f\u0631\u0633 \u0635\u0641\u062d\u0647 (\u0628\u0631\u062f\u06a9\u0631\u0627\u0645\u0628)","numberOfItems":3,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","name":"\u062d\u0631\u0641\u0647: \u0647\u0646\u0631\u0645\u0646\u062f","item":"https://herfeh-honarmand.com/","position":1},{"@type":"ListItem","name":"\u0646\u0648\u0634\u062a\u0647\u200c\u0647\u0627\u06cc \u0627\u0646\u06af\u0644\u06cc\u0633\u06cc","item":"https://herfeh-honarmand.com/english-articles/","position":2},{"@type":"ListItem","name":"Lecture One \u2013 Introduction","position":3}]}}
