Popol Vuh and humanism in the Amerindian peoples
Journal Title: Religación. Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 13
Abstract
This article aims to enhance anthropology built from philosophical thinking and humanist reflection of indigenous peoples, an indispensable source for the creation of more just societies that take into account, first, not only the ideas from distant lands, but those generated for authentic American cultures. The Popol Vuh serves as the basic text for the search for such humanist and desalienating ideals bequeathed by Amerindian cultures, as the Mayan volume constitutes one of the most exalted exemplars of the way of living, thinking and expressing the peoples that inhabited this continent before the arrival of Columbus. Thus, as Latin American philosophical thought, deeply rooted in humanities, is adequately reclaimed by new generations, as will be demonstrated here, these generations will have exemplary references to continue their uninterrupted work in defense of the cultural sovereignty of the peoples of this continent.
