Synopsis

These essays, both scholarly and sympathetic to the Pythagorean tradition, are intended as a homage to Pythagoras and proof of keen contemporary interest in his philosophy as a living reality. Pythagoreanism has affected every aspect of our science, religion and art. It is present in all esoteric cosmologies, but is particularly central to the western tradition and is expressed in various ways, as number, harmony, light, form, sound and colour. This book describes a deeper way of perceiving and understanding nature and the cosmos, with contributions from leading writers and thinkers on the sacred tradition. The contents include Robert Lawlor on "Ancient Temple Architecture," Keith Critchlow on "The Platonic Tradition on the Nature of Proportion," and "Twelve Criteria for Sacred Architecture," Arthur Zajonc on "The Two Lights," and Kathleen Raine on "Blake, Yeats and Pythagoras".
