The philosophy of Mesoamerica – the indigenous groups of
precolonial North-Central America – is rich and varied but
relatively little-known. In this ground-breaking book, Alexus
McLeod introduces the philosophical traditions of the Maya, Nahua
(Aztecs), Mixtecs, Zapotecs, and others, focussing in particular on
their treatment of language, truth, time, creation, personhood,
knowledge, and morality. His wide-ranging discussion includes
important texts of world literature such as the K'iche Maya Popol
Vuh and the Aztec Florentine Codex, as well as precolonial glyphic
texts and imagery. This comprehensive and accessible book will give
students, specialists and other interested readers an understanding
of Mesoamerican philosophy and a sense of the current scholarship
in the field.
