Description: Pythagoras Revived : Mathematics and Philosophy in Late Antiquity, Paperback by O'Meara, Dominic J., ISBN 0198239130, ISBN-13 9780198239130, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The Pythagorean idea that number is the key to understanding reality inspired philosophers in the fourth and fifth centuries to develop theories in physics and metaphysics using mathematical models. These theories were to become influential in medieval and early modern philosophy, yet until now, they have not received the serious attention they deserve. This book marks a breakthrough in our understanding of the subject by examining two themes in conjunction for the first time: the figure of Pythagoras as interpreted by the Neoplatonist philosophers of the period, and the use of mathematical ideas in physics and metaphysics.
