What does it mean to live according to one’s convictions? In the latest instalment of his column Vicdan („Conscience“), Azerbaijani author Abil Hasanov explores the life and thought of Imadeddin Nesimi (1369–1417), the Hurufi poet whose vision of human freedom, truth, and spiritual dignity continues to resonate today.

From the symbolism of letters to the courage of dying for one’s beliefs, Hasanov traces the legacy of a thinker who transformed philosophy into a lived practice.
