Aztec

The significance of the humanistic concept that gave sense to the birth and fostered the development of its ancient autochthonous cultures, and gave them grandeur and perfect unity, is a glory of Mexico.

According to such concept, man lent to the divine potencies the impulse and matter with which they were to reach the power to create the universe.

Of this sort, man appears not as the master of created things, in the way he is presented by the cosmogony of Western culture, but as the origin and the executor of its preservation; thus, man is not to seek the dominion of nature, but an alliance with it, in order to achieve, with its perfection, his own.
