Download or read book Pythagoras, the Master written by and published by Lindisfarne Books. This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pythagoras was one of the great geniuses of the West and yet, apart from his famous Pythagorean theorem, he is virtually unknown. If we rely on modern scholars and academics we find that his long-forgotten legacy is misunderstood and even distorted, and is therefore almost nonexistent. This new and provocative work from Carol Dunn (author of Plato's Dialogues: Path to Initiation) accomplishes two main objectives. First, it shows that the early pioneers of modern physics, mainly Newton and Kepler, scientifically and mathematically confirm Pythagoras' discoveries of the sixth century bc--the heliocentric theory of our cosmos and the parallel theory regarding the Harmony of the Spheres. These are discoveries for which Pythagoras has received scant recognition by the Western philosophical tradition. Second, the author argues against the proposition that the heliocentric theory was initiated not by Pythagoras but instead by his student Philolaus, who lived in the fifth century bc, and whose astronomical theory, according to Dunn, is not based on science. Pythagoras, the Master is well researched and accessible, offering readers a firm basis to reexamine the importance of Pythagoras' work and whether he or Philolaus discovered these paradigm-changing astronomical theories two thousand years before Western science rediscovered them in the seventeenth century.
Book Synopsis Pythagoras of Samos by : Marisa Calvi
Download or read book Pythagoras of Samos written by Marisa Calvi and published by Marisa Calvi. This book was released on 2010 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Ascended Master Kuthumi's human adventures continues on with the life of Pythagoras of Samos- history's most famous mathematician and one of Ancient Greece's most notable philosophers. Set in an amazing time of change for humanity, Pythagoras takes us on a journey through the mystery schools of the ancient world -- from the mystics of Egypt and Phoenicia through to the Zaroastrian magi of Babylonia, the oracles of Greece and even the early Buddhist monks. Along the way he shares his personal experiences and reflects on just what he was shown. This culminates in the establishment of his renowned school in Crotona. Once again Kuthumi invites us into the very human aspects of an extraordinary life. Pythagoras' life is not only remarkable for what he achieved but for what he allowed himself to experience. The stories he shares are much more than recollections though-often revealing long lost secrets and wisdoms that are just now resurfacing!

Download or read book Pythagoras written by Thomas Stanley and published by Nicolas-Hays, Inc.. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The timeless brilliance of this exhaustive survey of the best classical writers of antiquity on Pythagoras was first published in 1687 in Thomas Stanley’s massive tome, The History of Philosophy. It remains as contemporary today as it was over three hundred years ago. The text of the 1687 book has been reset and modernized to make it more accessible to the modern reader. Spelling has been regularized, obsolete words not found in a modern dictionary have been replaced, and contemporary conventions of punctuation have been used. Biographical sketches of Thomas Stanley and Pythagoras by Manly Palmer Hall, founder of the Philosophical Research Society, have been included, along with a profound overview of Pythagorean philosophy by Platonic scholar Dr. Henry L. Drake. The extensive Greek language references throughout the text have been corrected and contextualized, and reset in a modern Greek font. Each quotation has been verified with the source document in Greek. An extensive annotated appendix of these classical sources is included. A complete bibliography details all the reference works utilized, and a small Glossary defines a number of terms, especially those from musical theory, which may be unfamiliar to the non-technical reader.
Book Synopsis Pythagoras and the Delphic Mysteries by : Edouard Schure
Download or read book Pythagoras and the Delphic Mysteries written by Edouard Schure and published by . This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although appearing in the full light of historical times, Pythagoras has come down to us as almost a legendary character. The main reason for this is the terrible persecution of which he was the victim in Sicily, and which cost so many of his followers their lives. Some were crushed to death beneath the ruins of their burning schools, others died of hunger in temples. The Master's memory and teaching were only perpetuated by such survivors as were able to escape into Greece. Plato, at great trouble and cost, obtained through Archytas a manuscript of the Master, who, it must be mentioned, never transferred to writing his esoteric teachings except under symbols and secret characters. His real work, like that of all reformers, was effected by oral instruction. The essence of the system, however, comes down to us in the Golden Verses of Lysis, the commentary of Hierocles, fragments of Philolaus and in the Timaeus of Plato, which contains the cosmogony of Pythagoras. To sum up, the writers of antiquity are full of the spirit of the Croton philosopher. They never tire of relating anecdotes depicting his wisdom and beauty, his marvellous power over men. The Neoplatonists of Alexandria, the Gnostics, and even the early Fathers of the Church quote him as an authority. These are precious witnesses through whom may be felt continually vibrating that mighty wave of enthusiasm the great personality of Pythagoras succeeded in communicating to Greece, the final eddies of which were still to be felt eight hundred years after his death.

Download or read book Pythagoras written by Christoph Riedweg and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 have taught the doctrine of transmigration of souls and therefore to have advised a vegetarian diet. Ancient legends have Pythagoras conversing with dogs, bears, and bulls. A distinctly Pythagorean way of life, including detailed ritual regulations, was observed by his disciples, who were organized as a secret society. Later, Pythagorean and Platonic teachings became fused. In this Platonized form, Pythagoreanism has remained influential through medieval Christianity and the Renaissance down to the present. Christoph Riedweg's book is an engaging introduction to the fundamental contributions of Pythagoras to the establishment of European culture. To penetrate the intricate maze of lore and ascertain what history can tell us about the philosopher, Riedweg not only examines the written record but also considers Pythagoras within the cultural, intellectual, and spiritual context of his times. The result is a vivid overview of the life and teachings of a crucial Greek thinker and his most important followers.
