Global Peace Ethics in Zoroastrian Philosophy

Abstract

Peace in Zoroastrian philosophy.is depend on the principle of universalizing the concept of good. This can.be considered the fundamental principle from which Zoroastrianism proceeded toward achieving.world peace, through the triumph of good over evil in their existential struggle. Human beings play a crucial role in achieving this through.the exercise of free will. They.bear the responsibility of choosing good actions to.achieve inner and outer peace. The conscious.individual is tasked with.cultivating the ethics of peace, which, according.to Zoroastrian philosophy, are embodied.in good thought, good word, and good deed. This requires practicing contemplation and reflection.to grasp the truth and the key to Zoroastrian wisdom, which holds that good comes from good, and evil comes from evil. Therefore, he embarks.on a relentless pursuit of world.peace by performing all good deeds and.avoiding harmful actions, and by.teaching those who are ignorant.of this, since it will be the duty of the.Zoroastrian to love all people so that, through the.act of unconditional love, he can transform.the enemy into a friend, the wicked into the good, and the ignorant.into the learned, so that society can be reformed after the.individual is reformed, and world peace can be achieved through the harmony of man with.himself, with others, and with society, the universe, and the.world.
