Reviews for Homage to Pythagoras: Rediscovering Sacred Science

'These essays are a veritable homage to Pythagoras and proof of keen contemporary interest in his philosophy as a living reality. The quality of these studies is uniformly high -- a major addition to the field of Pythagorean studies and traditional mathematics.' -- Seyyed Hossein Nasr, author of Science and Civilization in Islam, Knowledge and the Sacred 'A thrilling collection of some of the finest articles on Sacred Mathematics in the Pythagorean and Platonic traditions, which, amazingly, are still as vital and important as ever.' -- Ralph Abraham, author of Chaos, Gaia, Eros 'If they ever put together a new Library of Alexandria, Homage to Pythagoras should be required reading.' -- John Anthony West, author of The Serpent in the Sky: The High Wisdom of Ancient Egypt 'Not only throws light on Pythagorean science and symbolism in the ancient worlds, but demonstrates the value of the Pythagorean approach today.' -- David Fideler, editor, The Pythagorean Sourcebook and Library 'With its testimony to number and pattern at the heart of nature and of the arts, the Pythagorean tradition will always be a guiding light to Western culture.' -- Joscelyn Godwin, author of Harmonies of Heaven and Earth and Music, Mysticism and Magic
