Abstract
Zoroaster set up foundation of dualism and »binary opposition« of Iranian wisdom. There are goodness and »Ahura« (God) at one end of this extreme and evil and Ahriman (Satan) at other. Based on hierarchical structure of galaxy (celestial) and heaven, we see »Amshaspends« (Amesha spenta. Seven Angels) at top goodness end of this opposition and according to terrestrial order, we see terrestrial order and social agreement at evil end. The markers of this opposition are soul VS body, light VS darkness, cow VS lion, snake VS eagle and happiness VS ethical restrictions. This article aims at finding rules hidden in Zoroaster's political theology and its binary opposition, its signs and way that goodness and positive signs found meaning against the others or evil in Iranian wisdom set. Further, it wants to find political and historical roots of this ideology and its relation with action and reaction of two ethnic groups of Fars and Kurd, that is, through discovery of negative and evil side of Zoroastrianism, the other or anti-Iranian of Iranian political wisdom is revealed. Zoroastrianism formed foundation of Iranian political wisdom and hided its possible domination and removal of anti-Iranian, e.g. Kurds in backstage of goodness and evil ideology of Zoroaster and abstracted ethnic/political struggle into a totemic one. As inferred from philosophy of Nietzsche and Hegel, Zoroaster is forerunner of God of »Apollonian« and history, »the other« of Zoroastrianism is also »the other« of history and metaphysics.(1)This article is a small part of my book: Iranian Political Ration and Kurdish Identity Search: (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QW5RCQV/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_awdb_imm_t1_k1Z3Fb20B5MQK)
