2. - THE TOLTECÁYOTL.
All the large and ancient civilizations, have followed the long road of their "human development" through a complex and elaborate structure of knowledge that explain and give sense to the individual life, the family, community and State. All these civilizations have invariably sought to answer three basic questions which are the foundations where all human development rises: who am I, where do I come from and where am I going?
This explanation of the fundamental existence reasons is what is known in the West as a philosophy. The human being is not resigned to be born, grow, reproduce and die, seeks to find a transcendent meaning to their thoughts, feelings and actions, in short, to their life. This quest for the meaning of life, shared by a group of people, is what gives continuity and direction to a civilization over time.
