Pythagoras: His Life and Teachings

Interested in Pythagoras, get this book, but be prepared for old school writing about one of the very old schools. As common with rhetorical writing, there's a lot of effort to feature the logic of the postulations. In my humble opinion, as one who is not reading this for scholarly reasons, but for personal growth, the bottom line is whether and how much the Pythagorean take on the nature of it all rings true to me. I wanted to take an esoteric trip that could reveal "new" ways of seeing. This book definitely delivers copious amounts on a mysterious genius about whom I had been most curious. It's a celebration and exercise of the mind in full, which is very much in keeping with Pythagoras' point and so many others, that the mind makes our place unique, and thus closer to God. This remarkable book covers a lot of bases about Pythagoras' philosophy, the school he founded, his life, his world view, and a fascinating subject it is.

This a wonderful edition of Stanley’s Life of Pythagoras.

Great book! But a little hard to read. I had to have the dictionary close by whenever I read.

this is not a light read, apparently there is no true writings of pythagoras. only hearsay.

Quite a read if your a lover of the subjectof Philosophy. Recommended.Sincerely,Terrence W.

Answered my curiosities of the Pythagorean school of thought.

This book has everything I wanted to know about Pythagoras.

Find this information elsewhere. The author never uses one word where a convoluted phrase will work. I am sorry I spent the money on this.

Excellent read.

Would deserve 5 stars as a book; alas it was packed or handled too hastily, so the cover was folded and is now creased on a book that was ordered as new. Accidents happen, but I guess I may as well have just got a cheaper used copy since I'm the lucky one.

EXCELLENT!!!
