The role of Zoroastrianism in the formation of the national mentality of the Uzbek people
Abstract
The written record "Avesta" and Zoroastrian principles were regarded as the philosophy of their time, representing the primary aspirations of Central Asia's early civilizations. The Zoroastrian religion, along with the spread of fire worship beliefs, had an impact on the development of spiritual and moral norms in society, as well as the establishment and enhancement of people's worldview, character, and mentality. This teaching's moral foundation is "good thought", "good word", and "good deed". Similarly, good deeds in a person's life lead to prosperity. The Eastern phenomena of high morality, purity and maturity, pure ideas, goodness and kindness has been translated into an element determining man's essence.The article shows that from this time on, the dimensions that determine human behavior and relationships became the basis for the formation of the behavior, character and mentality of the peoples of Turonzamin, including the Uzbeks.
