UDK 321.01:821.222.1.09 Širazi
Sadi Širazi spada među one pjesnike koji su vjerovali da književnost ima važnu odgojnu ulogu u društvu, posebno u promoviranju morala i dobrih praksi upravljanja i vladanja. Njegov osebujni pjesnički talent usmjeren je na edukaciju i savjet, a književno djelo prožeto je brojnim poučnim pripovijestima, poslovicama, primjerima iz života velikih državnika sa šireg prostora u kojem je živio i djelovao, nataloženim iskustvima različitih kategorija društva te ličnih doživljaja i svjedočenja. Sadijev Bustan, koji je u središtu ovoga rada, na poseban način zrači savjetodavnim karakterom vladaru i državnoj administraciji. Koncept države i vlasti, koji Sadi promovira, čine ga zastupnikom savremenog modela socijalne države i pravde u njenom ključnom obliku: briga o siromašnim i nemoćnim članovima društva i dosljedno provođenje pravde u državi. To ga smješta među daleke preteče modela socijalne države. Ovaj rad razmatra ideju i aspekte socijalne države u Sadijevom Bustanu.
