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] Aztec philosophy saw the concept of Ometeotl as a unity that underlies the universe. Relation to Aztec religion[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. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8153.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8153.txt
