Science, philosophy and technology of the Mayan Peoples: A paradigm of education that promotes human fulfillment, harmony with nature and the cosmos

Abstract

This paper describes the epistemological proposal and path of Mayan peoples, inspired by their scientific, philosophical and technological paradigm; as an expression of their constellation of beliefs, principles, values and techniques; whose essential focus is the protection and promotion of natural life, the link with territorial life, local community, and nature, which supports their cultural identity practices, as an exercise of epistemic pluralism and a proposal to make human fulfillment possible, as an alternative to the globalizing and homogenizing models of higher education, responsible for the destruction of the planet.
