Abstract

The aim of this article is to infer the truth of freedom and its components from the perspective of contemporary Shiite thinkers (with emphasis on the thoughts of Imam Khomeini, Imam Khamenei, Professor Motahari, and Ayatollah Javadi Amoli), and to explain its role in ensuring the cultural security of society and the family. This research, referring to the important sources of these four thinkers, uses a descriptive-analytical method to extract the "truth of freedom" and its components, and then discusses the role and effectiveness of these definitions of freedom and its components in ensuring and strengthening the cultural and psychological security of society and strengthening the foundation of the family. Findings of this article: 1) These thinkers share the main lines of explaining the "truth of freedom", and the components of freedom in their view are: "a comprehensive view of man", "freedom within the scope of monotheism", "freedom in line with nature and its flourishing", "being moral", "being rational", "sharia-oriented", and "paying attention to the ultimate perfection of man".2) This explanation of the truth of freedom is effective in the cultural security of society and the family, including: a) the adjustment of humans and the formation of a transcendent social order, and b) the security and preservation of the family
