Phillip Sidney Horky

Plato and Pythagoreanism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Was Plato a Pythagorean? Plato's students and earliest critics thought so, but later scholars have been more skeptical. Plato and Pythagoreanism reconsiders this question by arguing that a specific type of Pythagorean philosophy, called mathematical Pythagoreanism, played a profound role in Plato's philosophy.
