| 520 | |a The Aztecs of central Mexico had a rich philosophical tradition, passed down orally for centuries in the native Nahuatl language and recorded in Latin script by Spanish clergymen. One of the earliest transcripts was the Huehuetlatolli, or Discourses of the Elders, compiled by Friar Andrés de Olmos circa 1535. It consisted of short conversations between elders and young people on how to achieve a meaningful and morally sound life. Their core values relied on collective responsibility and group wisdom, orienting life around one's actions in this realm rather than an afterlife. Purcell's translation brings to life the Aztec ethical landscape, and shows that philosophy can be active, communal, and grounded in the pursuit of a meaningful life.--Adapted from jacket. | ||
