The Philosophy : In Depth

This article will cover the life of Zarathushtra using a broad amount of sources, including small snippets given by Zarathushtra, textual sources, and the archaeology of the broader society Zarathushtra lived in (Yaz I). It will also investigate the semi-mythical legend of Zarathushtra as contained in the Avestan Spand Nask (unfortunately only surviving through Pahlavi works) in order to identify which details may reflect genuine truths (such as Zarathushtra’s close relationship with his mother, his brief imprisonment by Vīštāspa, and his murder at the age of 77). Full article coming soon.
