Pythagorean theory inspired philosophers in the 4th and 5th centuries AD to develop theories in physics and metaphysics based on mathematical models. This book uses newly discovered evidence to examine these theories.
The Pythagorean idea that number is the key to understanding reality inspired Neoplatonist philosophers in the fourth and fifth centuries to develop theories in physics and metaphysics based on mathematical models. The theories produced by this revived interest in Pythagoreanism were to become influential in medieval and early modern philosophy, and this book makes use of some newly-discovered evidence to examine for the first time the development of those theories.
