Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow

Ted Good is interested in philosophy and the history of religions, particularly Zoroastrianism in the early Islamic period. He specializes in the two tightly integrated philosophical treatises: the multigenerational Dēnkard III and the Škand-Gumānīg Wizār by Mardānfarrox (fl. 9th CE). His doctoral research focused on the metaphysics and philosophy of religion in these texts, and his current project targets their philosophical anthropology, or the compositional and historical understanding of humanity.
