Mahmoud Moghaddasi

Mahmoud Moghaddasi is a teacher, philosophy researcher, and psychotherapist. He works at the intersection of philosophy, clinical psychology, ethics, and psychotherapy, and his education reflects this interdisciplinary path: an MA in Philosophy, a PhD in Philosophy, and an MA in Clinical Psychology.

Moghaddasi is among those researchers who do not pursue philosophy merely as theoretical knowledge, but rather connect it to practical life, self-knowledge, ethics, suffering, love, weakness of will, and therapy.

The main axes of his work are moral philosophy, moral psychology, philosophical counseling, psychotherapy, schools of psychology, and the relationship between philosophy and everyday life. Titles such as Weakness of Will and Moral Responsibility, An Introduction to Philosophical Counseling, and A Philosophy for Living show that his primary concern is how philosophy can play a role in better understanding life, ethical decision-making, and self-care.

He has a background in teaching or serving as a teaching assistant at Shahid Beheshti University, the School of Management and Economics at Sharif University of Technology, the Iranian Institute of Philosophy, and several cultural institutions. He has also conducted research with the Philosophy and Religion Group of the UNESCO Chair for Human Rights, the Islamic Propagation Office of Mashhad, the Freudian Group of Tehran, and the National Research Institute for Science Policy.
