Talk:Philosophy (Superpowers)

Other Philosophies
This seems to be a description of Roman philosophy, not the others philosophies.

For Mayan philosophy I would like to suggest something like the Aztec philosophy that latter developed. Philosophers would be called in Nahuatl Tlamatini, meaning "He who is catagorized by knowing things"--the litteral equivolent of the Greek word--and in Mayan perhaps as aj k'ujun (he of the sacred books, keeper of the sacred books), aj tz'ib (he of the writting, writter'), or maybe something like aj ol (he of the heart), aj ol tan (he of the heart-center), aj yol tan  (he of his own heart-center).

They would believe in something along the lines of the Greek logos--in Nahuatl Teotl (honored one, important being, powerful man, god), and Mayan K'u or k'uj---holy one, or god. This is the unifying source of nature, which often expresses itself in dualities. The Maya would equate this idea with Kin Ahau--he is a the uniting god, and all other gods are aspects of him.

Generally living a good life would be thought of as being in balance with the changing Teotl.

Finally, they would see scientific work and artistic creation as the expression of Teotl's True Nature.
