| description | In this article we study the fundamental characteristics of the goddess Maât, highlighting her instrumental role in maintaining the balance and order of the cosmos. We start by studying the “Maât de Firenze”, considering her plastic perfection, before presenting different facets of the goddess. Instead of understanding her as an ethical-moral abstract construct, we highlight her importance for Egyptian thought, her characteristics as a divinity in the pantheon and her relation with other gods. Then we analyze her role in Egyptian literature and finally her female character as a symbol of Egyptian women. The central argument is that her feminine nature forms the basis of her central position in the worldview of ancient Egypt. She embodies the importance of women in this ancient civilization, defined by some authors as uterine more than phallic. |

En este artículo se estudian las características fundamentales de la diosa Maât y su papel clave para mantener el equilibrio y el orden del cosmos. Se parte del examen de la “Maât de Florencia” por su perfección plástica y se presentan diversas facetas de la diosa, no tanto como idea abstracta ético-moral sino en un intento de resaltar su significado en el pensamiento egipcio, sus particularidades como divinidad en el panteón y sus relaciones con otros númenes. A continuación se analiza su presencia en la literatura egipcia como reflejo de esta sociedad, y, finalmente, su carácter femenino como símbolo de las mujeres egipcias. Se insiste en que su naturaleza femenina es la base de su posición central en la cosmovisión del Egipto antiguo, y encarna la importancia de la mujer en esa civilización antigua, que se puede considerar más uterina que fálica, a decir de los autores consultados.
