Aztec thought and culture : a study of the ancient Nahuatl mind
Miguel León Portilla (Author), Jack Emory Davis (Translator), Jay I. Kislak Reference Collection (Library of Congress)
The fundamental concepts of ancient Mexico presented and examined in this book have been taken from more than ninety original Aztec documents. They concern the origin of the universe and of life, conjectures on the mystery of God, the possibility of comprehending things beyond the realm of experience, life after death, and the meaning of education, history and art. The philosophy of the Nahuatl wise men, which probably stemmed from the ancient doctrines and traditions of the Teotihuacans and Toltecs, quite often reveals profound intuition and in some instances is remarkably "modern".
