v t e aztec philosophy was a school of philosophy that developed out of aztec culture 1 aztec cosmology was in some sense dualistic but exhibited a less common form of it known as dialectical monism aztec philosophy also included ethics and aesthetics it has been asserted that the central question in aztec philosophy was how people can find stability and balance in an ephemeral world 2 beliefs edit aztec philosophy saw the concept of ometeotl as a unity that underlies the universe ometeotl forms shapes and is all things even things in opposition light and dark life and death were seen as expressions of the same unity ometeotl the belief in a unity with dualistic expressions compares with similar dialectical monist ideas in both western and eastern philosophies 2 relation to aztec religion edit aztec priests had a panentheistic view of religion but the popular aztec religion maintained polytheism priests saw the different gods as aspects of the singular and transcendent unity of teotl but the masses were allowed to practice polytheism without understanding the true unified nature of their aztec gods 2 moral beliefs and aesthetics edit aztec philosophers focused on morality as establishing balance the world was seen as constantly shifting with the ever changing teotl morality focused on finding the path to living a balanced life which would provide stability in the shifting world 2 aztec philosophy saw the arts as a way to express the true nature of teotl 2 art was considered to be good if it in some way brought about a better understanding of teotl 2 aztec poetry was closely tied to philosophy and often used to express philosophic concepts 2 3 below is an example of such a poem translated from the original nahuatl no one comes on this earth to stay our bodies are like rose trees they grow petals then wither and die but our hearts are like grass in the springtime they live on and forever grow green again how did the aztecs regard time edit james maffie has explained that the aztec concept of time like that of the mayas was not one of uniform forward flow whose passage could be accurately measured by a clock or some similar device 4 specific events were regarded as separate unique entities only minimally related to those which had occurred immediately before them or to those which followed straight afterwards of paramount importance were the positions which they happened to occupy in the 260 day and 360 5 day calendar counts also significant were the 584 day venusian cycle and indeed the age growth cycles of the people involved which extended from birth through to old age texts edit there is a dearth of material from which aztec philosophy can be studied with a majority of extant texts written after conquest by either spanish colonists and missionaries or christianised spanish educated natives the conquistadors burned most aztec and mayan texts pre conquest sources include the codex borgia and the codex borbonicus written about the time of conquest post conquest texts include the florentine codex codex mendoza and the codex magliabechiano including others 5 see also edit philosophy portal tlacaelel government of the
