It is shown that the purpose of the writer is to survey the inner world of humans. The author states that if a literary figure has a thorough understanding of human nature and appreciates that spirit in her work, it can be called a fundamental humanistic value. At each stage of her creativity Lessing was guided with the criteria of humanism in her every work, whether these were social ideas, feminist encounters, or Sufi approaches. From this standpoint of the problem of coexistence, multicul-turalism philosophy is also quite important. Multicul-turalism is a humanistic worldview and a policy that recognizes the cultural rights of different nations living in the same country. It is noted that Doris Lessing's novels on racial discrimination constantly emphasize the meaninglessness of the claim about the idea that different races cannot intertwine with each other. In her literary works novelist always tries to bring humanity closer to the concept of "universal human", to transcend racial boundaries which should not be distinguished by
Definitely this point is largely mirrored in novelist's latest works. It should be noted that Doris Lessing was influenced by Idris Shah's philosophical encounters while getting acquainted with the Sufi ideas. The writer embraced these ideas in her works, demonstrating the mission of the spiritual ambassador between the East and the West, urging her readers to acquire the wisdom of Sufism. In her lecture on Sufism, Lessing writes: "Man is woefully underused and undervalued, and he doesn't know his own capacities" [4, p. 31] With these ideas presented as an alternative to the Western worldview, Lessing has shown that man has a direct relationship with the divine world and that he must simply get insight to his inner world to find this path. Writer's Sufi thoughts can be viewed in "Golden Notebook", "Canopus in Argos: Archives", "The Four-Gated City", "Memories of Survivor" and many other works. The analysis of the problem of individuality in these works from the universal prism leads to the presentation of the ideas of humanism in the context of Sufism to the reader.

Still these ideas are wider reflected in the series of novels "Canopus in Argos: Archives". Five novels that are included in this collection in the form of space-fiction demonstrate writer's Oriental view in the context of Sufi and universal values. Generally, the last period of Lessing's creativity more clearly reflects her thoughts about Sufi and universal values. As the main task in the literary works written during this period Doris Lessing's effort was to analyze the problems humanity faced in the twentieth century, solutions for which writer found in the basis of Eastern mentality - the Sufi philosophy. In general, this approach is analyzed in more contemporary critical literature more thoroughly. While speaking about the innovative - different technique used to reflect this idea the importance of form that is the core of Sufi teachings must be underlined. It is generally noted that although in Sufism any particle, any element, and form are not considered to be negligible, their evaluation is carried out in a different way, as well. It must also be accepted unequivocally that the form of the Lessing literary works could not remain unchanged, due to intends to improve their content and build them on Sufi ideas. Among the problems dealt with, the influence of Oriental ideas on the series of "Canopus in Argos" is one of the substantials. D. Lessing asserts the Sufi mentality as a mystic image of human psychology on the grounds of "internal universe"
Many of the books on here I too would not recommend. Habibi is one I get asked about a lot, that is why at some point I do plan to read it and review it inshaAllah. Thank you for your support, feel free to suggests books you think I should read ?JazakhaAllah
Zak and his good intentions is an excellent book. I like books which show how a family should function and this is an example of how one family does, while Zak and his sister compete to do as many good deeds in one day as they can. 2ff7e9595c
