Abstract
Persian philosophers made a great contribution to the development of the Arab-Muslim philosophy. They created their own works in Arabic, which was the language of science of that time, and in Persian. Nasir Khusraw (1004 — after 1074) is an outstanding Isma‘ili philosopher and poet who had an impact on the development of Persian philosophical terminology. The relevance of the study is due to the escalation of scientifi c interest to the Ismaili texts, which became available to scientists only in the XX century. The aim of the work is to determine the specifi city and peculiarities of the Persian philosophical vocabulary in the treatise “Gushayish va Rahaish” (“Knowledge and Liberation”) written by Nasir Khusraw, and also to resolve the difficulties that appearduring translation this treatise int o Russian. The article considers the history of the formation of the Persian scientifi c language, determines the contribution of Nasir Khusraw to its development, articulates the problems faced by the translator during the work on Nasir Khusraw’s philosophical texts. In the article we analyze the ways of understanding philosophical Persian texts.
