Soliloquies is a work from Augustine's early life, shortly after
his conversion, in which are visible all the seeds contained in his
future writings. Here we see Augustine as a philosopher, a thinker
and a budding theologian.
A wide range of specialists provide a comprehensive overview of the
reception of Pythagorean ideas in the Middle Ages and the
Renaissance, shedding new light especially on the understudied
'Medieval Pythagoras' of the Latin West. They also explore the
survival of Pythagoreanism in the Arabic, Jewish, and Persian
cultures, thus adopting a multicultural perspective. Their common
concern is to detect the sources of this reception, and to follow
their circulation in diverse linguistic areas. The reader can thus
have a panoramic view of the major themes belonging to the
Pythagorean heritage - number philosophy and the sciences of the
quadrivium; ethics and way of life; theology, metaphysics and the
soul - until the Early Modern times.
