Présentation de l'éditeur
Pythagoras was a great mathematician, philosopher, and scientist, born in Samos, Greece and is thought to have lived in the 500s BCE. Little is known of the life of Pythagoras, and it is even questioned whether he is deserving of credit for all of the work now attributed to him. Regardless, he is considered a great pre-Socratic philosopher, and his work is studied to this day. One of his most well known works is presented here as The Golden Verses of Pythagoras Explained.
Written in French by Fabre D'Olivet and translated into English by Nayan Louise Redfield, The Golden Verses of Pythagoras Explained contains the work of Pythagoras along with a detailed introduction and analysis of his work. The book opens with a lengthy piece on the essence and form of poetry, in which D'Olivet explains his method of analysis and briefly discusses a history of verse. Pythagoras' work is presented next in its original form, along with translations into both French and English. The writing of Pythagoras is actually the shortest section of the book. The author concludes the text with an extensive analysis of thirty-seven specific verses.
D'Olivet's book is a thorough analysis of Pythagoras' golden verses. When one considers the introduction as well as the lengthy examinations of each golden verse, the amount of context provided to Pythagoras' work is impressive.
The Golden Verses of Pythagoras Explained is one of the most detailed analyses of a great philosopher's work that you will find. D'Olivet is an impressive thinker in his own right, and one whose work deserves to be read. Anybody with a passing interest in philosophy, and specifically the work of Pythagoras, will surely find this to be an interesting text.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound depths of poetry, exploring its essence and form across various cultures and historical periods. The author embarks on a captivating journey, tracing the origins of poetry back to ancient Greece and its connection to divine inspiration and religious mysteries. Central to the exploration is the concept of allegory, where poetry serves as a veil for deeper truths and philosophical insights. The author contends that renowned poets like Homer and Sophocles were not mere storytellers but conveyors of profound wisdom disguised within their verses. This book challenges the conventional understanding of poetry as solely an art form, revealing its role as a vehicle for transmitting knowledge and shaping civilizations. It delves into the historical context of ancient Greece, exploring the influence of Egyptian and Phoenician cultures on the development of Greek poetry and religious practices. The discussion extends to the works of Orpheus, a legendary figure who bridged the gap between the rational and imaginative faculties. The author examines the Orphic mysteries, secret rites that aimed to guide initiates towards truth and enlightenment. By unraveling the layers of meaning within poetry, this book illuminates the enduring power of this art form to convey timeless truths and elevate the human spirit. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
