Divine Harmony describes Pythagoras wanderings in ancient Phoenicia, Egypt, Babylon, and Greece, and explores key Pythagorean ideas as taught at his scholarly community in southern Italy. This fascinating study of the sixth-century Greek scientist and mystic includes illustrations, a map, a new introduction, and an updated bibliography. Drawing on the writings of Pythagorass disciples, the authors present a lively portrait of a man whose ideas continue to resonate.
Description
“Pythagoras of Samos ([…] c. 570–495 BC) was an Ionian Greek philosopher and the eponymous founder of the Pythagoreanism movement. His political and religious teachings were extremely influential in Magna Graecia throughout antiquity and exerted a profound impact on the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle, and, through them, Western philosophy at large.” —Wikipedia
