PERSIAN PHILOSOPHY

Persian Philosophy developed a religion based on monotheism, the belief in


one god. It was founded by the prophet Zoroaster, called Zarathustra in Old Iranian.
Many of his ideas were collected in a series of poems called the Gathas, which
became part of the religion's most sacred book, the Avesta. Due to a series of large-
scale political and social changes such as the Arab and Mongol invasions of Persia,
has initiated a wide spectrum of schools of thought. In general terms, these can be
split between the Pre-Islamic Period and the Post-Islamic Period.
