The Pythagorean idea that numbers are the key to understanding reality inspired philosophers in late Antiquity (4th and 5th centuries A.D.) to develop theories in physics and metaphysics based on mathematical models. This book draws on some newly discovered evidence, including fragments of Iamblichus's On Pythagoreanism, to examine these early theories and trace their influence on later Neoplatonists (particularly Proclus and Syrianus) and on medieval and early modern philosophy.O'Meara, Dominic J. is the author of 'Pythagoras Revived: Mathematics and Philosophy in Late Antiquity', published 1989 under ISBN 9780198244851 and ISBN 0198244851.
