In Pi ( ) in Nature, Art, and Culture Marcel Danesi revisits the
importance of as a pattern in the structure of reality, fitting in
with the Pythagorean view of Order. Pi has cropped up in formulas
that describe natural and physical structures which, on the
surface, seem to have nothing to do with a circle, but might harbor
the archetype of circularity as a principle. Through , this book
thus revisits the implicit ancient Greek view that geometry was a
'hermeneutic science,' a discipline aiming to investigate the
connectivity among numbers, shapes, and natural phenomena. It also
examines its manifestations in aesthetic, symbolic and cultural
structures, which point to an abiding fascination with the circle
as an unconscious archetype. Hermeneutic geometry is ultimately
about the exploration of the meanings of geometric-mathematical
notions to science and human life.
