MADJUSÎ WORLDVIEW AND LOCATION OF HUMAN IN THE RELIGION
Abstract :
Religion covers every moment of human’s life and determines his perception of the universe. Despite having different conceptions of god, the most effective element of religions is their understanding of god. This is the way for all religions. Madjus that completed its foundation in thousand of years has dipole understanding of the god. This religion showed monotheist trend during Zarathustra and transformed into a dualistic form after him. Its defense of double theistic worldview, has affected the location of human in the religion. In Madjus belief system, human is obliged to be with Ahuramazda and his assistants against Ahriman and his assistansts. According to this religion human decides by his own free will, of which side he will be in favour.
