Zarathustra, Wisdom and Politics

Zarathustra and his religion, has made the civilizational philosophy of ancient Iran. He constructed a deep political, social, economic and philosophical metaphysics. Zarathustrianism as a result of a chaotic age was an attempt to establish the civilizational bases of Iranian society, and an endeavour toward building security, stability, possession and rule of law. Zarathustra was the founder of philosophy and spirit of this civilizational foundation in ancient Iran. This paper, with a glance to Skinerian hermeneutics, tries to explain the live and intellectual-political achievements of Zarathustra and his doctrine in cultural, economic, religious and political context of ancient Iran. Also the paper has discussed the causes of infertility of philosophical reason in ancient Greece, surveying the adventure of philosophical reason in Greece and Iran.
