Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture takes form by the language, beliefs, values, and norms that combine to make up the way of life. Persian culture core beliefs are based on the teaching of Zoroaster 3500 B.C.E was calling for life based on Good Thoughts, Good Words, and Good Deeds. Zoroaster said to do the right deed because it is the right thing to do. Then, Zoroaster teachings were expanded by Mani in 216 C.E. into dualistic cosmology of the World of light in a cosmic battle with the evil world of darkness. A fundamental idea in Manichaeism is that supreme good power (God), was opposed by the semi-eternal evil power (Satan). The souls are seen as the byproduct of the battle between Human and Satan. In 524 C.E Mazdak proclaimed to follow the path of altruism, communal life, respect for nature and enjoy the pleasures of life, once again expanding on the core beliefs of Zoroastrian teachings. He preached a refined version of Zoroastrianism. His teaching has also displayed influences from Mani. At this time, during Sassanid rule, Zoroastrianism was the state religion. However, most of the Zoroastrian clergies regarded Mazdak's teaching as blasphemy. When 700 years of war between Partain and Sasanian empires against the Roman and Bezintian empires ended, both the empires were exhausted. At that moment in history, the Arab Armies invaded Iran. Over the next several hundred years, Iran became a Muslim country. Samanid Empire was the first Persian speaking dynasty to arise in Iran after the Arab conquest. The rise of Persian speaking ruler gave to Iranians pride in their culture and love learning. For the first time after the Arab Invasion, Persian becomes the official langue of the court with Bukhara as the capital of the new empire. Rudhaki was the first great literary genius of Persian poetry. Rudhaki liberated and created the modern Persian language. Firdowsi followed Rudhaki with his quest to emancipate the Persian language. His love of Persian culture motivated him to spend thirty years to emancipate the myth of Persian culture from the death of forgetfulness. He is deathless because he lives in the souls of the Persian speaking world. Iranian separated their language and literature and their religion from Arabs by following the Party of Alii known as Shia. The Shai religion of Iran followed Iranians beliefs in Mehdi the Imam of all times who will come and restore justice to the world. The Mazdak teachings were resurrected the Khurramites (Persian: خرمدینان Khorram-Dinan, meaning "those of the Joyful Religion"), an Iranian religious and political movement. He said to his followers "Enjoy the pleasures of life and satisfy your appetite in the highest degree. Eat and drink in the spirit of equality, seek good deeds; abstain from evils by shedding blood, and inflicting harm on others. Practice hospitality without reservation." Babak Khorram-Dinan resurrected Mazdak teaching in the revolt against Caliph against the Arab Caliph. Under Babak's leadership between 816 C.E-837 C.E, he fought against the Caliphate for the preservation of Persian language and culture. The last Persian prophet was Bab who claimed to be a prophet. He started Bahai religion in Shiraz Iran in 1844 C.E.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Persian King Darius I (reigned 522-486 BCE) constructed a canal connecting the Nile to the Red Sea- an ancient precursor to the Suez Canal. Artachaies was a Persian engineer who engineered the Xerxes Canal in Greece. The Persian Empire witnessed remarkable contributions to various fields, particularly during the Sassanian period (224-651 CE). Barbad was a Persian musician from the Sassanid empire. Barbad is remembered in many documents and has been named as a remarkably highly skilled musician of his time. Bozorgmehr made significant contributions to medicine. The "Book of Medicine" by Bozorgmehr contains knowledge from Greek and Indian sources and reflects advancements in medical understanding. The Persian mathematician and scholar Kushyar ibn Labban wrote extensively on mathematics. The Sassanian Empire was known for its impressive architectural achievements. The construction of structures like the Taq Kasra, a grand arch, highlighted advanced engineering skills. The intellectual achievements of pre-Islamic Persia laid the foundation for further developments during the Islamic Golden Age. However, I must admit there are a few surviving works and that's mostly because Persia was conquered and burnt to the ground twice by Alexander and Arab Muslims. At the heart of this cultural mosaic are the Persian prophets, individuals who played pivotal roles in shaping the spiritual landscape of the region. These prophets, often associated with the Zoroastrian faith, have left an indelible mark on the religious consciousness of the Persian people. Another significant Persian prophet was Mani, who emerged centuries later in the 3rd century CE. Mani founded Manichaeism, a syncretic religion that integrated elements of Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, and Christianity. His teachings focused on the eternal struggle between the forces of light and darkness, and the need for spiritual enlightenment to overcome the material world's illusions. Mani's influence extended beyond the borders of Persia, gaining followers across the ancient world. In the narrative of Persian prophets, one cannot overlook the influential figure of Mazdak, a reformer who emerged during a period of societal transformation in 6th-century Sassanian Persia. Babak Khorram-Dinan, also known as Babak the Khorram-Dinan, was a Persian revolutionary and leader of the Khurramites, a social and religious movement that emerged in the 8th century during the Abbasid Caliphate. Babak played a significant role in challenging the Abbasid rule and advocating for social justice and equality. He was a follower of Mazdak. Then Persians changed Islam and created a new prophet named "Mahdi" in Shia Islam. Mahdi is believed by Shia Muslims to be the guided and awaited leader who will emerge in the future to restore justice and righteousness. Mahdi" means "guided one" or "the guided one." Shia Muslims believe that the Mahdi is the twelfth Imam, known as Imam al-Mahdi, who went into occultation and will reappear to bring justice to the world. Then the last Persian Prophet is Bahaullah. Bahaullah claimed to be the latest in a line of divine messengers that includes figures like Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad. Baha'u'llah's public declaration of his mission occurred in 1863, in the garden of Ridvan (meaning Paradise) in Baghdad, Iraq. Baha'u'llah's teachings emphasize the oneness of humanity, the unity of all religions, the importance of education, the equality of men and women, and the elimination of prejudice.

Download or read book Taghi Erani a Polymath in Interwar Berlin written by Younes Jalali and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prominent civil servant, scientist, and intellectual, Taghi Erani was a pivotal figure in interwar Iran. Witness to two of the major political upheavals in the twentieth century—the rise of Pahlavi and the collapse of the Weimar Republic—he turned from fundamental science to leftwing activism and pacifism, leading to his arrest and death in prison. Younes Jalali traces his journey from Tehran to Berlin, where in the 1920s he crossed paths with the greatest German scientists and scholars of his day, including Max Planck, Albert Einstein, and Friedrich Rosen, and published seminal works on psychology and political philosophy. In the 1930s, as Reza Shah pursued rapprochement with the Third Reich, Taghi Erani was caught up in a crackdown on left-wing and pro-labor activists. His life and death offer a unique lens through which to view modern Iranian intellectual and political history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first full-length study of the history of Iranian anthropology charts the formation and development of anthropology in Iran in the twentieth century. The text examines how and why anthropology and culture became part of wider socio-political discourses in Iran, and how they were appropriated, and rejected, by the pre- and post-revolutionary regimes. The author highlights the three main phases of Iranian anthropology, corresponding broadly to three periods in the social and political development of Iran: *the period of nationalism: lasting approximately from the constitutional revolution (1906-11) and the end of the Qajar dynasty until the end of Reza Shah’s reign (1941) *the period of Nativism: from the 1950s until the Islamic revolution (1979) *the post-revolutionary period. In addition, the book places Iranian anthropology in an international context by demonstrating how Western anthropological concepts, theories and methodologies affected epistemological and political discourses on Iranian anthropology.
