Discourses of the Elders: The Aztec Huehuetlatolli A First English Translation

The Discourses of the Elders is a groundbreaking philosophical text that challenges Western beliefs about God, morality, and the meaning of life.

Compiled by Friar Andrés de Olmos in 1535, this ancient Aztec text offers a unique perspective on ethics and values, rooted in collective responsibility and group wisdom rather than individual thought and action.

With Sebastian Purcell's fluency in Nahuatl bringing the text to life, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the Aztec worldview and the importance of community in shaping our moral beliefs.

This rare and previously untranslated work is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring alternative philosophical traditions and discovering new ways of thinking about ethics and morality.
