Episode 52: Zoroastrianism
Ancient fires, cosmic battles, and a solitary prophet who changed the world.
In Episode 52 of Cogito Ergo Pod, Daniel explores Zoroastrianism, the ancient faith that planted the seeds for concepts like heaven and hell, a final judgement day, and the radical idea of human free will.
Discover the life of Zarathustra, the deep theology of the Avesta, the cosmic struggle between Asha (truth) and Druj (the lie), and how a bronze-age religion from the Iranian steppes heavily influenced Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and modern ecological thought.
