Reviews

[Peter J. · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an important work in my opinion. Besides being tremendously intriguing when it showed odd patterns that hint at something more to numbers than the mere assemblages of monads, it also clarified some really key concepts that are found not only in Pythagoric, but Platonic, Aristotelian, and Orphic thought.
