GAME THEORY AND ITS APPLICATION TO FERDOWSI’S SHAHNAMEH
Main Article Content
Abstract
Hakim Abulghasem Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh (Epic of the Kings) is one of the greatest literary works of the East. In addition to high literary values, this work has had prominent effects on the preservation of the Persian language and culture after the Muslim conquest of Persia. In terms of strategic sciences, it can be regarded as an unrivaled work. Besides investigating the importance of Shahnameh from the strategic perspective, the present study aimed to analyze five important stories of Shahnameh from the perspective of game theory, and to discuss Ferdowsi's view towards wisdom and thinking, i.e., strategic thinking.
