The article studies the literary works of the poetess-philosopher Mahsati Ganjavi, one of the outstanding female representatives of the medieval culture of the Moslem East. Attention is paid to the multi-aspect implication of Mahsati’s views on love, opens their philosophical essence. In our opinion, Mahsati Ganjavi’s views on the problem of gender equality, hedonism, women's freedom, the content of love as a sensory-corporal and celestial-moral feeling, her views on divine love, were of great importance in their time for their philosophy, liberalism and originality. Through a conscious analysis of her literary works, the study aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of Mahsati Ganjavi's intellectual legacy, highlighting her position as a trailblazer who not only articulated progressive views but also left an indelible mark on the philosophical landscape of her era.
