Aztec Philosophy on Happiness and the Good Life (Online)

Ancient Greek and Roman philosophy are known to be rich in discussions on happiness and the good life. This week, we will take a detour and look at an overlooked philosophy in Western culture, Aztec philosophy.

The Aztecs strove to understand and live out a worthwhile life in the midst of transient pleasures and pain. For them, rootedness, truth and goodness were central virtues to cultivate. We will examine what that looks like as we read and discuss an article by Sebastian Purcell.

Join us for a thoughtful discussion on Aztec philosophy and the good life online through Discord.
