Abstract

The research studies the aesthetic views presented by Abu Firas Al-Hamdani and Sharif Al-Radi, whose fragments are scattered in their valuable poems by collection, recording and study, to derive the criteria that each of them adopted in judging their poems and the poems of other poets.
The two poets did not divide poetry into the general frameworks of the poetic inheritance and the prevailing concepts related to poetry and its pillar, but rather they appealed to taste and artistic sense, and elaborated their poetry, and indicated the task entrusted to it, and Abu Firas was alone in defining his poetic purposes according to a special vision, to distance himself from praise, he became aware of his poetic tools And his need for objective knowledge that motivates him to say poetry, but both poets - Abu Firas and Sharif al-Radi - sought victory for themselves by complying with a conditional creativity or by changing the structure of their creativity.
Each of them also made judgments about the poetry of other poets in which we found artistic motives inherent in their concept of poetry, whether it ended in approval or disapproval, it stems from their ability to realize its craft.
