The Pythagorean idea that number is the key to understanding
reality inspired philosophers in the fourth and fifth centuries to
develop theories in physics and metaphysics using mathematical
models. These theories were to become influential in medieval and
early modern philosophy, yet until now, they have not received the
serious attention they deserve. This book marks a breakthrough in
our understanding of the subject by examining two themes in
conjunction for the first time: the figure of Pythagoras as
interpreted by the Neoplatonist philosophers of the period, and the
use of mathematical ideas in physics and metaphysics.
