Abstract
This study investigates the relations between the intellectuals and the
authority in “Kalilah Wa Dimnah and Alasad Wa Alghawas”. The
two books belong to what is known “fairy tales” that have a distinctive
connection with the world of ruling and managing state. In order to
make this relation precise, the study was prefaced by an introduction
on the “fairy tales”, then moved to study the complex relation between
the intellectuals and the authority, within the framework of the class
(type) that has been known as the literature of “Furstenspiegel”,
whose stories are narrated by animals that constitute a part of it.
examining this issue in framing tales as being one of the elements
composing the “fairy tales” that dealt with. The study then moved to
examine the parity and disparity in both books on the levels of character,
proliferation of texts and the person narrated to. The study finally
reached some conclusions; most important of which is the difficulty to
conciliate between the intellectuals and the politicians, because the
relation basically exists between them either functional or agonistic or
seclusion.
