Abstract
This chapter summarizes the interpretative results of the study by drawing on its initial objectives and research questions. In short, the study aimed at reassessing previous academic representations of Nahua religion, scripture, and sense of reality in constant dialogue with the available primary sources. It began with revaluing common understandings of Nahua religion and ended up examining complex forms of Nahua being-in-the-world, analyzing the Nahua concept of scripture, reconstructing Nahua semiotics, and discerning their interrelations. The result is a complex interpretation of the Nahua sense of reality, Indigenous semiotics, and pictography as an expression of embodied meaning.
