Talking With Time: A New Interpretation Of Mexica Calendric Divination

Please join us for a talk by and discussion with James Maffie, author of Aztec Philosophy: Understanding a World in Motion. In Aztec Philosophy, James Maffie shows that Aztecs advanced a highly sophisticated and internally coherent systematic philosophy worthy of consideration alongside other philosophies from around the world. Bringing together the fields of comparative world philosophy and Mesoamerican studies, Maffie excavates the distinctly philosophical aspects of Aztec thought. We hope you’ll join us for this opportunity to learn more about Maffie’s research and to engage in a discussion about Mexica calendric divination, and its implications for our understanding of Aztec culture.
