课程名称：祆教：导论 课程概述：在本课程中，我们将探讨世界上最古老且重要的宗教之一——祆教。尽管如今信徒人数不多，祆教在历史思想和文明的发展中扮演了至关重要的角色。许多历史知名人物，如大流士、薛西斯、胡斯劳一世和胡斯劳二世，都是祆教的信徒。两大著名的伊朗帝国：阿契美尼德和萨珊帝国，也以祆教作为其官方宗教，这在古代与晚古代世界历史中具有重要意义。同时，祆教在塑造伊朗身份方面也发挥了巨大作用。 祆教对宗教思想的发展产生了深远影响，其思想观念如“天堂与地狱”、“神的恶对立面（撒旦）”以及“末日救世主”等，构成了其教义和神学的核心部分。在本课程中，我试图介绍和讨论经典祆教的一些核心方面，包括创世神话、宇宙结构以及这个宗教创始人琐罗亚斯德（扎拉图斯特拉）的有趣传记。 完成本课程后，学习者将对经典祆教的主要教义（如9至11世纪的祆教中期波斯文学所描述）、其在世界宗教中的地位、与其他宗教的相似之处以及进一步研究的主要可靠资料等有一个基本的理解。
In this course we are going to explore one of the most ancient and important religions of the world, Zoroastrianism. Despite the small number of its followers today, Zoroastrianism has played a crucial role in the history of human thought and civilization. Many prominent historical figures, like Darius, Xerxes, Khusraw I and Khusraw II, have been followers of Zoroastrianism. Two prominent Iranian empires, Achaemenids and Sasanians, which have played an immensely important role in the history of the Ancient and Late Antique worlds, had Zoroastrianism as their official religion. Besides that, Zoroastrianism has played a tremendous role in shaping the Iranian identity.Zoroastrianism had also great impact on the development of religious thought. Such ideas as "Heaven and Hell", the "Evil counterpart of the God (Satan)", the "Savior at the end of times" have been an existential and inseparable part of its dogma and theology.In this course I have tried to present and discuss some of the core aspects of the classical Zoroastrianism, like the Creation Myth, the Structure of the Universe, and the interesting biography of the founder of this religion, Zoroaster (Zarathushtra).By completing the course, you will have a basic understanding of the main tenets of the classical Zoroastrianism (as described in the 9-11th centuries CE Zoroastrian Middle Persian literature), its place among other world-religions, its similarities with the latter, the main and reliable sources for further study, etc.
