One of the texts I read for an essay this year. I just finally found the time to finish it! Goes over what we know (or really don‘t know) about Pythagoras and briefly reviews Pythagoreans and forms of Pythagoreanism (and main influential concepts) that followed, up to the early modern period but focusing mainly on antiquity. A good book and good starting point if you‘re interested in the topic.

7/10

Pythagoras is probably my favourite ancient philosopher. He was a bit of a nut, but he did like how math is in everything, so he put it into his philosophy.

Crazeedi It is in everything! The Universe is mathematical! Just an amazing truth 5y
GingerAntics @Crazeedi and to think he discovered this (and oddly thought it was divine intervention) in about 500BCE, and now we are finding this is entirely true. It‘s amazing, really. 5y
Crazeedi @GingerAntics yes, observation has discovered many things. And maybe there was some divine intervention. I read an article once about the symmetry of everything from the macro to the micro. I remember the author talking about things like spider webs, and leaves etc. It sent shivers through me when I really thought about it 5y

Crazeedi You can see the mathematical beauty everywhere if you take the time to look. Really think about how we do things harmoniously, without thinking even 5y
readinginthedark That is so awesome! It makes me think of this StoryBots episode about space that my son was watching, about how planets are made. It's amazing how logical and poetic it all is at the same time! 5y
GingerAntics @readinginthedark I think that‘s the best way to put it. Simultaneously logical and poetic. 5y
