“All such disciplines, theories, and scientific investigations as truly invigorate the eye of the soul, and purify the intellect from blindness introduced by studies of a different kind, so as to enable it to perceive the true principles and causes of the universe, were unfolded by Pythagoras to the Greeks.” ― Iamblichus, Life of Pythagoras

Homage to Pythagoras collects essential writings by authors at the leading edge of the sacred sciences today. Each chapter―scholarly homages to the Pythagorean perspective―confirms the continuing interest in Pythagoras’ philosophy as a living reality. These authors provide a major addition to the field of Pythagorean studies and traditional mathematics.
