The Golden Verses And The Symbols Of Pythagoras

The Golden Verses and the Symbols of Pythagoras is a book written by W. Wynn Westcott, which explores the teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras. The book is divided into two parts, the first being an analysis of the Golden Verses, a collection of moral precepts attributed to Pythagoras. The second part of the book focuses on the symbols and principles of Pythagorean philosophy, including the concept of the Monad, the Tetraktys, and the sacred geometry of the universe. Westcott's interpretation of Pythagorean philosophy is heavily influenced by his background in esotericism and occultism, and he places a particular emphasis on the spiritual and mystical aspects of Pythagorean thought. The book is written in a scholarly style, with extensive footnotes and references to primary sources, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, mathematics, and mysticism.THIS 44 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Collectanea Hermetica, by W.
