Historical research into the mythological and astronomical conceptions that preceded Aristotle’s philosophy

by Régis LAURENT, Trista SELOUS ...

This study of Greek time before Aristotle’s philosophy starts with a commentary on his first text, the Protrepticus. We shall see two distinct forms of time emerge: one initiatory, circular and Platonic in inspiration, the other its diametrical opposite, advanced by Aristotle.

Pythagoras

His Life, Teaching, and Influence

by Christoph Riedweg ...

Translated by Steven Rendall ...

One of the most important mathematical theorems is named after Pythagoras of Samos, but this semi-mythical Greek sage has more to offer than formulas. He is said to have discovered the numerical nature of the basic consonances and transposed the musical proportions to the cosmos, postulating a "harmony of the spheres." He may have coined the words "cosmos" and "philosophy." He is also believed to ... Read more
