The Theoretic Arithmetic of the Pythagoreans is a book written by Thomas Taylor that explores the ancient Greek philosophy of Pythagoreanism, specifically focusing on their theories and practices related to mathematics and numbers. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which discusses the Pythagorean concepts of arithmetic, geometry, and music, while the second part delves into the Pythagorean philosophy of numbers and their mystical significance. Throughout the book, Taylor draws on the writings of ancient Greek philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle to provide a comprehensive overview of Pythagoreanism and its influence on Western thought. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of mathematics and philosophy, as well as those seeking to deepen their understanding of Pythagoreanism and its impact on modern thought.1816.
