| Nahj al-Balāghah as a rich religious and religious reference contains epistemological teachings for the freedom of humanity throughout history. The present research, with a descriptive and analytical review and based on the text of the 64th sermon of Nahj al-Balāghah by Imam Ali, through the approach of the five ciphers, seeks to identify the primary structure of this work in order to recognize the implicit meanings of the sermon in accordance with the progress of human society. Structural semiotics is one of the analyzes that flourished in the 20th century following Saussure's semiotics Roland Barthes, a French semiotician and structuralist critic, proposed to identify the text's semantic pegs after a kind of talent search of the text. He presented this point of view by introducing the model of five ciphers (hermeneutic or enigmatic ciphers, proactive or action ciphers, meaningful or implicit ciphers, symbolic or counterfactual ciphers, and cultural or referential ciphers). Roland Barthes expressed this theory based on the normativeness of the symbolic structure of the text, which is the main factor of meaning creation. The result of the research shows that this approach can be a suitable tool to reach the semantic layers of religious texts and their interpretation. Based on this, enigmatic ciphers raise the mystery of life throughout the text, and active ciphers, with the aspects of active and imperative verbs at the level of the text, make the human's innate talent flourish in the direction of goodness. Implicit symbols play a role by highlighting and creating meaning in the pursuit of strengthening human insight into the fundamental cause of creation, and symbolic symbols also suggest a religious life for human happiness with the contrast of good and evil. Cultural symbols also show a transcendental attitude to life in the form of the philosophy of creation. |
