Herausgeber: Bamford, Christopher

Beschreibung

Form - Number - Geometry - Architecture - Light - Color - Music - Poetry "All such disciplines, theories, and scientific investigations as truly invigorate the eye of the soul, and purify the intellect from blindness introduced by studies of a different kind, so as to enable it to perceive the true principles and causes of the universe, were unfolded by Pythagoras to the Greeks." -- Iamblichus, Life of Pythagoras Homage to Pythagoras collects essential writings by authors at the leading edge of the sacred sciences today. Each chapter--scholarly homages to the Pythagorean perspective--confirms the continuing interest in Pythagoras' philosophy as a living reality. These authors provide a major addition to the field of Pythagorean studies and traditional mathematics.
