In this study I have emphasised the philosophical aspect of Zoroastrianism, though it is classified as a religion, because I believe that much of what has been classified as religion also incorporates speculative thought that can be analysed separately, and as a system of speculative thought it is comparable to other traditions of speculative thought, such as Greek philosophy.
Die analise die spekulatiewe denkstelsels van Plato en Zoroaster, soos uitgelê in se Timaeus en Zoroaster Gathas, 'n bekende filosofie te vergelyk met 'n minder bekende en dikwels wangeïnterpreteerde spekulatiewe binne 'n religie, naamlik Zoroastrisme.
