It argues that <em>Artā</em> is not merely a moral injunction or religious law but an ontological‑ethical horizon in which being and responsibility are inseparable. By reframing the traditional notion of “Sacred Order” as Universal Onto‑Ethical Order, the study highlights the structural unity of ontology and ethics, demonstrating that fidelity to truth is constitutive of reality itself.</p> <p>Methodologically, the research employs a qualitative, hermeneutic, and comparative approach, analyzing primary sources (Avestan scriptures, Vedic hymns, Islamic philosophical texts, Sufi manuals) alongside secondary scholarship and cross‑cultural analogues. The article traces the evolution of <em>Artā</em> across historical contexts: its Indo‑Iranian continuity with Vedic <em>Ṛta</em> and <em>Dharma</em>; its institutionalization as <em>Asha</em> in Zoroastrianism; its transformation into <em>‘adl</em>, <em>nūr</em>, and <em>wilāyah</em> in Shi‘ism and Iranian philosophy; and its embodiment in Sufi ethics and <em>futuwwa</em>.</p> <p>The study further situates <em>Artāyī Culture</em> within a global comparative framework, identifying resonances with Dao in Chinese thought, Ubuntu in African philosophy, satya and ahimsa in Indian traditions, and indigenous cosmologies emphasizing balance and reciprocity. These convergences suggest that <em>Artāyī Culture</em> articulates a universal human intuition: life flourishes only when aligned with truth, justice, and harmony.</p> <p>Ultimately, the article argues that reconstructing <em>Artāyī Culture</em> as a Universal Onto‑Ethical Order provides a civilizational paradigm for the contemporary world, offering a framework in which politics is redefined as moral responsibility, knowledge as wisdom, and humanity’s place within nature as ethical stewardship.</p> |
