| Summary | "A Modern Zoroastrian" by S. Laing is a philosophical treatise written in the late 19th century. The text explores the principle of polarity and its application across different domains, including science, philosophy, and religion, particularly focusing on Zoroastrianism as a modern interpretation of spiritual dualism. The author presents a contemporary understanding of how these dualities manifest in both the material and spiritual worlds, aiming to connect ancient wisdom with modern scientific thought. At the start of the work, Laing introduces the concept of polarity using magnetic experiments as a metaphor for understanding universal laws. He posits that just as iron filings align to a magnet through attraction and repulsion, the same principle applies to broader existential realms, including moral and philosophical inquiries. He warns against equating analogy with identity, emphasizing the need for evolving religions to adapt to contemporary knowledge. Laing positions himself as a modern Zoroastrian, seeking to synthesize various philosophical viewpoints while advocating for a religion that harmonizes with science and modernity. This introduction sets the stage for a rigorous exploration of how these principles have implications for understanding life, society, and individual conduct amid changing environments.
