| Summary |
Was Plato a Pythagorean? Plato's students and earliest critics thought so, but later scholars have been more skeptical. This book reconsiders this question by arguing that a specific type of Pythagorean philosophy, called 'mathematical' Pythagoreanism played a profound role in Plato's philosophy. |
