Spiritual Discourses [3] (also known as Spiritual Sayings [4] ( Persian: گفتارهای معنوی) or Spiritual Freedom ( Persian: آزادی معنوی) [5]) is a book of fifteen lectures delivered by Morteza Motahhari. The common aspect of all of these lectures is their reflection on self-improvement and self-cultivation, though they also address social issues at some points. [6] [7] [8] [9]
Most of the lectures were delivered in Hosseiniyeh Ershad between 1968 and 1971 in Iran, Tehran. Their subject matter concerns spiritual issues around self-construction and self-cultivation. Morteza Motahhari references philosophical anthropology to explain and explore these concepts. [10]
The first edition of Spiritual Discourses was published in 1986, consisting of thirteen lectures across eight chapters in Iran. In the nineteenth edition, two lectures were added to the second chapter. The Persian title of the book, گفتارهای معنوی, was renamed to Spiritual Freedom (آزادی معنوی) after several editions by the publisher. It has been reprinted more than 80 times in Iran. [11] [12] [13]
