Philosophy began in ancient Iran, and not in ancient Greece
________________________________________________________________
As you know, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, who is a nineteenth century Philosopher from Germany, is the author of “Thus Spoke Zarathustra”. Nietzsche in this book, explains the Zoroaster’s philosophy, and then his own philosophy. But the interesting thing that I want to mention is that, the first philosophers of ancient Greece used to begin their sayings with this phrase; because Zoroaster was the unique Valid reference of philosophers.
Since c. 5800 BC till now, Philosophy of “Mazda Yasna”, which Zoroaster is its most famous representative, says that: “The essence of nature is the internal and eternal struggle between conflicting components of natural phenomenons”. From Zoroastrians’ point of view, fire or the sun are the best symboles for this essence of nature. “Mazda Yasna” believs that the “internal and eternal struggle” automatically leads to a balance in natural phenomenons; so if we want Prosperity and Forgiveness, we must obey this essence of nature, and implement justice as a balance situation in social life of human beings. This Reasoning, leads the Zoroastrians to ban the Slavery mode of production.
In last months of 548 BC, slavers who heard about the aim of Cyrus, the first emperor of the Achaemenid Empire, to abolish slavery in western half of Anatolia, tried to make a strong friendship between slaves and slavers. So they chose a number of lecturers to travel to all cities of western Anatolia, to accomplish this mission. One of these lecturers was Thales, who have been introduced by western historians as the first philosopher of the world.
Thales, who himself was a slave owner, to make friendship between slaves and “slave owners”, began to fight against philosophy of “Mazda Yasna” (Zoroastrianism); so with a shameful misunderstanding of Zoroastrian philosophy, said that : The essence of nature is not “Fire” but “water”.
