This research is entitled "Philosophical Pessimism in Contemporary Kurdish Poetry with the Example of the Poems of (Jamal Ghambar, Barzan Hastyar, Abdullah Pashew)". The paper discusses philosophical pessimism as a multidimensional subject in modern Kurdish poetry and the root of pessimism in Kurdish and other languages. Specific concepts and themes of pessimistic philosophy such as nihilism, death-loving and doubt have also been theorized and practiced. Finally, we have reached several conclusions that philosophical pessimism in contemporary Kurdish poetry is a pessimism that has emerged under the influence of a number of literary movements such as Surrealism, Absurdism, Dadaism and Nihilism. However, philosophical pessimism in Kurdish poetry is more of an intellectual than an ideological issue for most poets.
