The book explores the concept of “wisdom” or “insight” in ancient Egyptian thought, specifically the reason behind Horus’s blinded eye, as recounted in the ancient myth. This makes the ancient Egyptians the first to establish a connection between “sight” and “insight” in history. The book presents a novel perspective on a number of philosophical arguments central to ancient Egyptian thought, including the philosophy of homeland, the concept of place, and the philosophy of the mind and human nature. It also examines the role of humor in ancient Egypt, which was often a form of ironic rebellion. Ultimately, the book focuses on the philosophy of “Maat,” which encompasses concepts of justice, balance, truthfulness, and action – and which forms the core of all aspects of ancient Egyptian philosophy.
