Pythagoras citáty
strana 3

Pythagoras ze Samu byl řecký filosof, matematik, astronom i kněz. Byl také veřejně činný, ale údaje o něm se často rozcházejí. Z jeho díla se nic nezachovalo, založil však velmi významnou školu a výklady i legendy jeho následovníků překryly jeho původní myšlenky, takže se velmi obtížně rekonstruují. Pythagorejská tradice měla velký vliv na Platóna, byla živá v novoplatónismu, v renesanci a v různých – často fantastických – podobách žije i dnes. Wikipedia
