Subject Areas : Geneology of philosophical schools and Ideas
Keywords: Daemon, Daimon, Daeva, demon, Theos, Jinn, Angels ,
Abstract :
There are common facts about the daimon in ancient Greece and the Davea in Zoroastrian wisdom and the genie (Jinn) in Islamic theology. Although in Greek wisdom, a distinction is made between daimon and Theos in some cases, but in most cases, daimon and divine affairs are confused, and this creates the challenge of how the gods of ancient Greece gradually become turned into demons and devils in the Middle Ages. In Zoroastrian wisdom, there is not only a distinction but also a complete opposition between the divine gods and the Daveas, the former being divine and good and the latter evil and satanic. In the Islamic worldview and teachings, there is a creature called a jinn, which is neither from the realm of angels nor is it absolutely evil or satanic On the one hand, it is close to the world of spiritual and angels, and can do supernatural and superhuman things, and on the other hand, in many cases, it is the source of evil and filth, which in this case is called Satan. Based on the approach of Muslim philosophers in the classification of spiritual and non-physical beings and the distinction they made between angels, righteous jinn and devils, the challenges of the ancient Greek daemons can be explained more precisely. This explanation will play an important role in understanding the origins of the opinions and schools of ancient wisdom, especially ancient Greek wisdom And the challenges of ancient Greek daemons and ancient wisdom can be explained
