Description

Pythagoreanism cannot be reduced to a historical movement which is the forgotten source of modern science. Given its aim to unify the laws of the universe on the basis of pure mathematics, it represents a school of thought which continues to captivate men of science. At the same time, its intuition that natural beings play a spectrum of analogies, within a mysterious relationship which would come to fascinate Baudelaire, Balzac, Nerval and Mallarmé, is the source of its productivity for the majority of artists. Through the fascinating figure of Pythagoras, Jean-François Mattéi explains this unique change which, twenty-five centuries ago overhauled thinking across Greece, from a religious perspective to one of rational thought.
