Abstract
This research aims to identify and analyze the articles written about Nahj al-Balaghah with a cultural approach over fifteen years (2001-2016). Since most of the conducted studies are in the form of articles and what is presented in these studies is the extract of the teachings of Nahj al-Balaghah, the author of the present paper aims to answer the question of how much attention the authors have paid to cultural issues and which concepts of the cultural field have been addressed in Nahj al-Balaghah? In this regard, the written articles were identified, reviewed, and classified based on Persian articles and the bibliography of Nahj al-Balaghah. Then, using the qualitative content analysis, the concepts and cultural teachings of Nahj al-Balaghah were extracted from the articles, and then, using statistical inference and correcting some references, the descriptive analysis findings were presented. In the end, it was found that among the extracted concepts, the highest frequency related to resurrection and remembrance of the hereafter, with 215 examples and 27 frequencies, and the rest of the cultural concepts, with relative frequencies, were of interest to the authors in this period that the quantitative and qualitative reasons for attention were presented.
