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. These conversations bring to light the Aztec ethical landscape in brilliant clarity. Their core values relied on collective responsibility and group wisdom, not individual thought and action, focused on a person’s actions in this realm rather than expectations of an afterlife. Never before translated into English in its entirety, and one of the first works to be translated from the original Nahuatl, the Discourses proves that philosophy can be active, communal and grounded not in a “pursuit of happiness” but rather pursuit of a meaningful life.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 218mmItem Length: 147mmItem Width: 23mmItem Weight: 391gTranslator: Sebastian PurcellContributor: Sebastian Purcell (Translated by)Author: Sebastian PurcellGenre: HistoryTopic: Ancient History, Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
