| Summary: | In this article it is suggested that Marxist analysis suffers from various
deficiencies when it attempts to explain prehispanic thought. In
general, Marxist analysis concentrates on the concerns which the ancient
Mexicans articuiated in their worldview, and the function that these
concerns fulfilled in their socio-economic system. However, this
form of analysis neglects both the conditions under which prehispanic
concepts of the world evolved and, more generally, how the acquisition
of religions thought is possible. Given that Marxist analysis does not
consider the processes tlirough which an understanding and interpretation
of the world is constituted, it leaves uiie?q}lained a major part of ancient
Mexican thought. This article offers several alternative interpretations
based on the perspective of genetic historical theory. |
