Metaphorizing the metaphors: The development of the Zoroastrian language of eschatology (A04)

聚焦于琐罗亚斯德教末世论，这个项目问，在多大程度上，真实意义的构建依赖于现有隐喻的转换，而不是全新隐喻的产生。通过这样做，它将对正在进行的关于琐罗亚斯德教末世思想发展的辩论和其他欧亚宗教的历史做出根本贡献，特别是对关于犹太、基督教或伊斯兰传统吸收琐罗亚斯德教末世思想的讨论。为此，该项目将从第12美分开始调查琐罗亚斯德教文学的五个历史层面。BCE到第17美分。广告。

Focusing on Zoroastrian eschatology, this project asks, to what extent the construction of reli-gious meaning relies on the transformation of existing metaphors rather than the production of entirely new ones. By doing so, it will make a fundamental contribution to the ongoing debate on the development of eschatological ideas in Zoroastrianism and the history of other Eurasian reli-gions, particularly, to the discussion on the absorption of Zoroastrian eschatological ideas in Jewish, Christian, or Islamic traditions. To that end, the project will investigate five historical lay-ers of Zoroastrian literature from 12th cent. BCE to 17th cent. AD.
