About this book

This edition comprises the papers presented in the roundtable "Concepciones del tiempo en Mesoamerica", organized during the 23rd World Congress of Philosophy, held in Athens, Greece, in August of 2013. The papers address different aspects of the main ideas on time of the Nahua and Maya cultures, from the pre-Hispanic period to the present, to offer a vision of the Mesoamerican thinking around the concept of time that can be considered philosophical, for its depth and its original rationality. Eight papers presented at two round table discussions on Mesoamerican civilization during 2013 World Congress of Philosophy in Athens, Greece. Topics include calendar divination for Mayan children and modern coming-of-age rituals in Yucatan; concepts of time in Mayan underworld; 819-day cycle and directional rites of Mayan Classic period, and others.
