Diphrastic rhetoric: a nahua way of thinking

Main Article Content

Carlos Castañeda Desales

Abstract

Nahua thought has an epistemic framework delimited by a diphrastic rhetoric. This configures a different way of thinking from the dominant thought of the West, which has been built historically with principles of identity. In the article, we refunctionalize some theses about the Nahua world to maintain that its figures of speech do not start from identity but from the overabundance and diversity of meanings –the difference. This perspective allows us to distance ourselves from Western thought and explore other practices and ways of conceiving things.
