Alexus McLeod is Professor of Religious Studies at Indiana University. He has written a number of previous books on Mesoamerican and Chinese Philosophy, the most recent in each area being Philosophy of the Ancient Maya (2017) and The Dao of Madness (2021).
'This book arrives at a timely moment, as non-canonical philosophical traditions are getting increased attention. This is an engaging and wide-ranging introduction to one of the least well known of these traditions, Mesoamerican philosophy. McLeod shows that this culture produced challenging and unique perspectives on many central questions in philosophy, including the nature of language, knowledge, and reality itself.'
