What is Mazdalogy?

First of all, this is a philosophy blog. It will deal with the major fields: Epistemology, Metaphysics, Logic and Semantics, Mind and Body,, Ethics, Aesthetics and also with the minor fields such as Theology, Sociology and Politics.

The philosophy written here is purely my own, no doubt influenced by great thinkers from around the globe, people whose voices echo from the distant past. The philosophy is written in the following layout...

Mazdalogy (the name of my philosophy) is literally "study of pure transcendental awareness" and is a complete worldview with "awareness" at its centre. Mazda itself is an Avestan word meaning "pure awareness" and it is upon this concept that holds up the entire philosophy.

As written, Mazdalogy is the study of this "pure awareness" (or Mazda) and therefore, I have decided to use people's everyday experiences to alleviate this study so that all can comprehend the often complicated terms and difficult concepts.

The study will take many many posts (which will keep me busy!) and it begins with self-reflection and promises to provide understanding of God.

The study's layout follows the following tradition from Muhammad, the Muslim Prophet:

"He who knows his self, knows his Lord."

Thus, Mazdalogy begins with the 'self' and ends with the 'Lord', proving every step of the way using firm philosophical arguments.

Based on the above tradition, Mazdalogy will contain in order the following syllabus:

1. The Self
2. Epistemology
3. Thought and Reason
4. Logic
5. Semantics
6. Ontology
7. Experience
8. Time and Space
9. Mathematics
10. Awareness and Will
11. Mazda
12. The Lord .... (also known as "Ahura Mazda" or God)


Each of the mentioned headings will include numerous sub-headings which will hopefully satisfy the readers.

Every post will be open to comments. Any comments will be answered and all questions will be dealt with.

This blog is for all who seek truth, certainty, knowledge... or all who seek to philosophise and think actively... this blog is for everyone who believes in human rational debate.

Now that I have explained what Mazdalogy is, I will retire. Don't forget to come back in a couple of days for any signs of a new post when the philosophy will begin!
