Abstract

The article reveals the essence of personality of one of the greatest creators of cultural creation, the founder of the ancient religious system Zarathustra and reveals significance of his ideas in the culture of mankind. The purpose of the study: to show the place of Zarathustra in history and culture, his influence on the development of mankind and formation of world religions. His teaching is one of the oldest examples of deep thinking and wisdom. The teachings of Zarathustra were formed on the basis of the spiritual values of the ancient nomadic civilization, on the basis of legends and epics of the ancient steppe nomadic society. This can be traced in the writings of the Avesta (Gat). Zarathustra sought to enrich society with new values, but his teaching was not recognized by society. Not finding support in their own environment, the teachings of Zarathustra spread throughout the world through Afghanistan, Iran and other countries. His religious, ethical, philosophical and other spiritual values became one of the sources of steppe wisdom. The spiritual values of Zarathustra enrich world culture with the wise melodies of the steppes, and his steppe hymns had a profound influence on the formation of the worldview of Greek and other ancient thinkers. The wisdom of Zarathustra is reflected in the works of F. Nietzsche (“Thus Said Zarathustra”) and others.
