It is an exciting time in philosophy! Philosophers are starting to explore traditions that have been ignored by the Anglophone world. And Alexus McLeod is at the head of the pack. He has provided a lucid analysis of the distinctive theories of time and personhood that emerged in Mayan philosophy; and he has articulated several points of fruitful convergence between this tradition and the Early Chinese tradition. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in expanding their understanding of what philosophy can be, and to anyone who is intrigued by the idea of a transformative metaphysics, which includes both substances and processes--without giving either a privileged ontological status.
