This is a comprehensive, authoritative and innovative account of
Pythagoras and Pythagoreanism, one of the most enigmatic and
influential philosophies in the West. In twenty-one chapters
covering a timespan from the sixth century BC to the seventeenth
century AD, leading scholars construct a number of different images
of Pythagoras and his community, assessing current scholarship and
offering new answers to central problems. Chapters are devoted to
the early Pythagoreans, and the full breadth of Pythagorean thought
is explored including politics, religion, music theory, science,
mathematics and magic. Separate chapters consider Pythagoreanism in
Plato, Aristotle, the Peripatetics and the later Academic
tradition, while others describe Pythagoreanism in the historical
tradition, in Rome and in the pseudo-Pythagorean writings. The
three great lives of Pythagoras by Diogenes Laertius, Porphyry and
Iamblichus are also discussed in detail, as is the significance of
Pythagoras for the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
