Comparative Study of the Concept of Freedom in Mowlana's Thought and the School of Humanism

The aim of this paper is to compare the concept of freedom from the point of view of Mowlana and the school of humanism. Both Mowlana and the theorists of the humanism school have a special vision about human freedom, but with different intellectual and social origins, their definition of freedom and the path to freedom is different, and sometimes they share points. The results of this research, which have been conducted in a descriptive and analytical way, indicate that Mowlana views the issue from a religious perspective and has a mystical view of freedom, and considers the best kind of freedom to be God's bondage and freedom from the attachments of internal prisons. Of course, social dimensions have also been noted. From the point of view of the mystics, including Mowlana, to mankind, there is no external freedom, unless he  achieves internal freedom.  humanists ,who have a human_oriented  look, believe that human freedom is achieved in nature by himself, not through super powers. Humanists believe in the unconditional freedom of humans in the intellectual, political, personal and artistic scopes, and do not accept anything as a barrier to this
