“A dazzlingly fresh take on universal themes.… [B]ursting with practical wisdom.” —Skye C. Cleary, author of How to Be Authentic A philosophy grounded not in a transcendent divinity, afterlife, or individualism, but in a rooted communal life. Western philosophers have long claimed that God, if such a being exists, is a personal force capable of reason, and that the path to a good human life is also the path to a happy one. But what if these claims prove false, or at least deeply misleading? The Aztecs of central Mexico had a rich philosophical tradition, recorded in Latin script by Spanish clergymen and passed down for centuries in the native Nahuatl language—one of the earliest transcripts being the Huehuetlatolli, or Discourses of the Elders, compiled by Friar Andrés de Olmos circa 1535. Novel in its form, the Discourses consists of short conversations between elders and young people on how to achieve a meaningful and morally sound life. The Aztecs had a metaphysical tradition but no concept of “being.” They considered the mind an embodied force, present not just in the brain but throughout the body. Their core values relied on collective responsibility and group wisdom, not individual thought and action, orienting life around one’s actions in this realm rather than an afterlife, distinctly opposed to the Christian beliefs that permeate Europe and America. Sebastian Purcell’s fluency in his grandmother’s native Nahuatl brings to light the Aztec ethical landscape in brilliant clarity. Never before translated into English in its entirety, and one of the earliest post-contact texts ever recorded, Discourses of the Elders reflects the wisdom communicated by oral tradition and proves that philosophy can be active, communal, and grounded not in a “pursuit of happiness” but rather the pursuit of a meaningful life.

Dos han sido los ámbitos en los que surgieron núcleos de civilización originaria en el Nuevo Mundo. Son ellos los de Mesoamérica y el área andina. El primero se consolidó a través de varios siglos en el centro y sur de lo que hoy es México y en regiones vecinas de la América Central. El segundo tuvo como escenario el sur de la actual Colombia hasta el norte de Chile y Argentina. Su área central de florecimiento se ubicó en tierras de Ecuador, Perú y Bolivia. En esos dos extensos ámbitos florecieron, en varias etapas, distintos pueblos a los que se deben grandes creaciones, entre ellas sus legados literarios. En Mesoamérica, lo mismo que en los pueblos andinos, sus cantos, poemas, oraciones, relatos, recordaciones, discursos... se conservaron en la memoria y se transmitieron por la tradición oral. Se disponía además de otros recursos de preservación que permitían transmitir composiciones y testimonios: caracteres glíficos en el caso de Mesoamérica; quipus (cordeles de diversos colores y nudos a lo largo de ellos) en el área andina. Este libro, obra del gran estudioso de las literaturas indígenas Miguel León-Portilla, analiza semejanzas y diferencias en las producciones literarias de estos dos pueblos, los géneros practicados en una y otra, todo con abundantes ejemplos del pensamiento, sabiduría y belleza de la palabra antigua de dos pueblos, cuyas creaciones se vinculan a las raíces más hondas en el ser de la América Nuestra.

This volume presents a carefully edited and translated collection of Pre-Columbian ancient spiritual texts. It presents relevant examples of those sacred writings of the indigenous peoples of Central America, especially Mexico, that have survived destruction. The majority of texts were conceived in the 950-1521 A.D. period. Their authors were primarily anonymous sages, priests and members of the ancient nobility. Most were written in Nahuath (also known as Aztec or Mexican), in Yucatec and Quiche-Maya languages.
