DESCRIPTION:The project “Arcs of Time: Zoroastrian Philosophical Anthrop
 ology’ (AOT) has two goals: the first is to critically analyze how Zoroa
 strian thinkers theorized human psychophysical composition and its relatio
 n to human history\, and the second is to integrate scholars working on Zo
 roastrian Middle Persian literature and scholars working on Arabic literat
 ure\, since these Zoroastrians writing in Middle Persian were contemporari
 es with many well-known authors writing in Arabic. The “Seeing the Light
 ” workshop is designed to achieve the second goal. Participants are invi
 ted to explore the manifold ways Zoroastrians intersect with the wider Isl
 amic world. This includes the critical inheritance of Greek and Avestan th
 ought\; the ways the Sasanian state was remembered by Zoroastrians and Mus
 lims\, Persians and Arabs\; and also the ways local communities interacted
  apart from the central seats of power. We hope to foster dialogue on the 
 historical setting\, the philosophical issues\, the concrete debates\, and
  the sociopolitical structures beneath the texts.\n\nDownload the Workshop
