"[edit] Moral beliefs and aesthetics
Aztec philosophers focused on morality as establishing balance. 
The world was seen as constantly shifting with the ever-changing teotl. 
Morality focused on finding the path to living a balanced life, which 
would provide stability in the shifting world.[2]
Aztec philosophy saw the arts as a way to express the true nature of teotl.
[2] Art was considered to be good if it in some way brought about a better 
understanding of teotl.[2] Aztec poetry was closely tied to philosophy and 
often used to express philosophic concepts."
