James Maffie is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy and Affiliate Faculty member of the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Center at the University of Maryland. He is principally known for his work on Aztec philosophy, in particular his book Aztec Philosophy: Understanding a World in Motion that came out with University Press of Colorado in 2014, reprinted in 2015. In this podcast, we explore the Aztec notion of Teotl which Maffie defines as a “dynamic, vivifying, eternally self-generating and self-regenerating sacred power, force, or energy,” Aztec reciprocity with nature and the potential of an ecological Aztec ethics.
