Philosophy of the Ancient Maya : Lords of Time by Alexus McLeod
Requirements: .PDF reader, 3.0 MB
Overview: “Philosophy of the Ancient Maya is a brilliant book and a labor of love. Alexus McLeod is a rare mind: deeply curious, linguistically gifted, a sensitive detector of similarity and difference, with deep grasp of classical Chinese philosophy, contemporary analytic philosophy, and Mayan Philosophy. Philosophy of the Ancient Maya is a crystal clear introduction to the metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical wisdom of this great meso-American civilization that makes the reader examine their own cultural assumptions. A treasure.” – Owen Flanagan, author of The Geography of Morals
“This is a groundbreaking work! McLeod is the first philosopher to treat the Mayans seriously as systematic philosophical thinkers. This book is a significant contribution to the multicultural philosophy movement. McLeod’s work is sure to have as great an influence as James Maffie’s seminal Aztec Philosophy. The neglect of Indigenous Philosophy in our universities is indefensible, and McLeod has done a great service by making Mayan thought available to students, professors, and general readers.” – Bryan W. Van Norden, author of Taking Back Philosophy: A Multicultural Manifesto
