Beschreibung
Throughout Western universities,
ancient Greek philosophy is seen
as the oldest tradition of wisdom,
yet the Zoroastrian way of life
can be traced back to the second
millennium BC. The Gathas - a
collection of hymns or songs attributed to Zarathustra - contain
an existential and practical philosophy avant la lettre, based
on mental exercises and rituals
passed down through Zoroastrian religious communities. These
texts not only demonstrate the
Persian thinker's wisdom, they
also introduce an important ecological focus and social practice.
In Thus Replied Zarathustra, Ann
Van Sevenant presents a cosmopolitan dimension to Zarathustra's
proto-philosophy that applies to
all of us on an intimate level.
