This annual Newsletter gives articles and a summary of literature of recent publications concerning
Pythagoras and Pythagoreans. Interesting internetsites, work in progress and conferences are
included.
ƈThis original collection of essays by some of the best world specialists of ancient Greek philosophy
focuses on the philosophical texts written during the Hellenistic and Imperial times under the names
of Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans. Their unknown authors claimed to convey the positions of the
pristine Pythagorean School on metaphysics, theology, number philosophy, physics, logic, political
philosophy, ethics, and the proper way to live. The most audacious among them presented
themselves as the sources from which Plato and Aristotle drew inspiration for the 'Timaeus' and the
'Categories', and they were considered authoritative by most ancient thinkers, thus leading to a
renaissance of the Platonic and Pythagorean tradition.Ɖ

Intervention (PSAI)
The Pythagorean Self-Awareness Intervention
(PSAI) is a cognitive and behavioral stress
management technique that has been
developed and implemented over the last eight
years in clinical and not clinical populations, by
WKHSRVWJUDGXDWHSURJUDP³7KH6FLHQFHRI
6WUHVVDQG+HDOWK3URPRWLRQ´RIWKH0HGLFDO
School of the National and Kapodistrian
University of Athens. The PSAI has been
previously evaluated as having beneficial
results, in patients with multiple sclerosis
(Anagnostouli et al. 2018), mild cognitive
impairment (Darviri et al. 2016b), chronic
insomnia (Tsoli et al. 2018), ache vulgaris
(Tsoli et al. 2018).
The content of the technique is based on the
Pythagorean philosophy (founded at the
Kroton of South Italy, 2500 years ago) and the
³*ROGHQ9HUVHV´RI3\WKDJRUDV
(URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_golden
_verses_of_Pythagoras). According to our
knowledge, introspection and memory
practicing were two of the most crucial tools,
for the Pythagorean students in order to
assess self-mastery and self-awareness.
Each participant was trained to recall the
events of the day crossed and to evaluate his
or her behavior in relation to four main
parameters, i.e. daily activity (exercise and
achievement of 10000 steps/day), nutrition (in
terms of quality, quantity and time of food
intake), sleep time and duration (circadian
synchronization) and interpersonal
relationships, especially in terms of anger and
non-harm (moral framework). Through this
multidimensional (holistic) process, which
involved simultaneous body training (exercise,
nutrition, sleep) during the day and mind
training (recall of events of the day) at night
before sleep, participants entered a process of
introspection and self-observation. The
behavioral self-examination was performed
after the recall procedure at night, with three

RXJKWWRKDYHGRQH"´7KHSDUWLFLSDQWVZHUH
reminded to avoid emotional burden
throughout the process, and use passive voice
for critical assessment. The implementation of
the technique in the morning included an early
brief recall of the preYLRXVGD\¶VHYHQWVDQG
organization of the upcoming day, before the
start of daily activities. All participants were
also trained to perform diaphragmatic
breathing and were advised to practice it twice
a day, especially before practicing the PSAI.

Crotone, al via la realizzazione della statua
di Pitagora: partita la raccolta fondi
[SYMBOL OF THE CITY' Crotone, the

ispirata alla sezione aurea. Un arredo urbano
che non ha mai convinto del tutto i crotonesi,
da anni in attesa di una statua dedicata a
Pitagora. Ora, finalmente, quel monumento
dedicato al matematico e filosofo greco, tanto
desiderato, potrebbe vedere la luce e, magari,
essere collocato proprio nella piazza che ne
porta il nome.
Crotone, la raccolta fondi
Il progetto è già in fase di realizzazione, è
stato lanciato dalla Nuova Scuola Pitagorica e
GDOO¶DUWLVWD*DVSDUH%UHVFLDHFKLXQTXH
attraverso una donazione potrà partecipare
DOODFUHD]LRQHGHOO¶RSHUDLOFXL costo stimato è
intorno ai 200 mila euro.Tutte le donazioni
saranno certificate e per chi dona determinati
importi sono previste ricompense, che vanno
da una T-shirt raffigurante il volto della statua a
un bozzetto in bronzo in tiratura limitata. È un
progetto che la città attende da tempo, di cui si
parla da circa 15 anni HWUDO¶DOWURFLUFDXQ
anno fa il Consiglio comunale bocciò una
mozione che proponeva una iniziativa simile
legata al crowfunding.
Come sarà la statua di Pitagora
La statua di Pitagora sarà realizzata
in bronzo con la tecnica della fusione a cera
persa, la bozza in argilla è in lavorazione in un
giardino pubblico, nei pressi del centro
cittadino. Il monumento sarà alto 4,20 metri,

un recente incontro pubblico. Sarà un modo
«per riconciliarci come Crotone con questa
figura che il mondo ammira, attraverso una

partecipare» ha spiegato il presidente della
Nuova Scuola Pitagorica, Marco Tricoli.

resta che deciderne la collocazione: «Non

se ci sarà la volontà, la collocheremo in piazza

This work is the first commented translation

Empedocles, which became available due to
the discovery of the Strasbourg Papyrus. This
unique and complex document contributes a
huge contribution to the study of the heritage of

the papyrus is supplemented by three studies
of the philosophy of the ancient non-Greek
philosopher.
The study of the Strasbourg papyrus of

The Tabula Cebetis is a classical ekphrastic
dialogue that achieved a wide reception in
Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries.
Building on the research of Reinhard Schleier
(1973), and other scholars, this project will
construct a genealogy of the 7DEXOD¶V corpus
from c. 1500-1650,demonstrating the
interdependency of text and image in books,
prints, and paintings. The primary research
question is whether or not figural
representations and compositional designs of
the Tabula were adapted to reflect social and
cultural change. Secondly, the project will
examine how the Tabula Cebetis was
reimagined in emblem books.

Descrizione: Ci troviamo di fronte a squilibri
ecologici e sociali presenti sul nostro pianeta,
che stanno diventando insostenibili e che ci
spingono a formulare un nuovo rapporto con la
natura e con l'ambiente. La concezione cosmo
centrica, pur basandosi su una visione
universale e anche metafisica, rispetta tutte le
peculiarità e le potenzialità umane, anzi eleva
l'uomo verso una visione più ampia, una
dimensione cosmica ed universale. È
assolutamente necessario recuperare questa
visione universale con la conseguente "etica
della compassione cosmica", rendendosi conto
degli errori della concezione "antropocentrica"
che hanno contribuito a mal educare l'uomo
della nostra civiltà moderna. È necessario
invece allargare la nostra visione ed includere
il rispetto e la compassione per ogni elemento
del cosmo e recuperare il concetto di armonia
universale, l'armonia delle sfere. Nel testo vi

Summary: Within the Pythagorean tradition
the supreme source of authority is, needless to
say, Pythagoras himself. The Pythagoreans
are the only Pre-socratics named after the
founder of their brotherhood. However, if one
takes into account the amount of extant
Pythagorean literature, which is for the most
part apocryphal ± as is well known, the amount
of apocryphal Pythagorean literature by far
exceeds the few fragments which can be
considered authentic and safely attributed to
ancient Pythagoreans ± the predominant name
is that of Archytas, who was undoubtedly a
prominent figure, although not one as
authoritative as Pythagoras. Moreover, a great
number of pseudo-Pythagorean writings go
under the name of largely unimportant, or
otherwise unknown, authors. Nonetheless, this
apocryphal literature considerably contributed
to lending the necessary authority to a very
influential tradition that extended over the
centuries. In this contribution I will endeavour,
among other things, to explain (a) how
Archytas came to be regarded as a major
source of authority; (b) why the authors of
Page 11
View in PDF(opens in a new window)Pythagorean forgeries made recourse to
names which apparently were anything but
authoritative; (c) more broadly, what kind of
criteria may have guided the authors in
building the pseudo-Pythagorean corpus; (d)
what relationship exists between these writings
and the Platonist tradition.
Diogenes Laertius. Lives of Eminent
Philosophers : An Edited Translation. Edited by
Stephen A White, Cambridge University Press,
2021.
Summary: A pioneering work in the history of
philosophy, the ancient text of the Lives
presents engaging portraits of nearly a
hundred Greek philosophers. It blends
biography with bibliography and surveys of
leading theories, peppered with punchy
anecdotes, pithy maxims, and even snatches
of poetry, much of it by the philosophers
themselves. The work presents a systematic
genealogy of Greek philosophy from its origins
in the sixth century BCE to its flowering in
Plato's Academy and the Hellenistic schools.
In this fully up-to-date and accessible
translation, based on the most accurate texts
and the latest advances in scholarship,
Stephen White provides a valuable resource
for students and scholars of ancient
philosophy. Highlights include extended
treatment of the "seven Sages" (Book 1),
Socrates and his Socratic followers (Book 2),
Plato (Book 3), Aristotle and his school (Book
5), Diogenes the Cynic (Book 6), Stoicism
(Book 7), Pythagoreans (Book 8), Pyrrhonian
skepticism (Book 9), and Epicureanism (Book
10)"-- Provided by publisher.

In breve
La Magna Grecia è parte della storia italiana e
la sua vicenda in epoca preromana non si
identifica strettamente con la colonizzazione
greca, né si riduce al confronto con le genti
italiche. Il volume inquadra la Magna Grecia in
un vasto orizzonte mediterraneo di movimenti
e connessioni. Senza trascurare gli sviluppi
storico-politici, la trattazione mette in luce i
problemi ancora dibattuti. Rivolge attenzione
particolare alla ricerca archeologica e ai
processi di trasformazione delle società e delle
culture, analizzati anche sulla base delle
scienze sociali. Discute inoltre di quadri

Renaissance Franoaise Au Miroir De La Vie
D'apollonius De Tyane.
Droz, 2021.
Sommaire: Roman grec composp par
Philostrate au III siqcle, la Vie d'Apollonius de
Tyane suscite chez les humanistes une
rpaction ambivalente de fascination (pour un
sage pythagoricien) et de rppulsion (pour un
supposp rival du Christ). L'ptude de la
rpception de ce texte, j travers les mpdiateurs
pditoriaux (traducteurs, commentateurs,
libraires...) qui le rendent accessible, est
l'occasion de scruter un autre visage de la
Renaissance : celui de la confrontation de
l'humanisme et du paganisme. Pour certain
lettrps du XVI siqcle, la Vie d'Apollonius de
Tyane n'entre pas dans le cadre commun, qui
voit des lettres sacrpes (comme pour le
platonisme et l'aristotplisme). Condamnpe pour
son affabulation romanesque comme pour sa
nature pawenne, la Vie d'Apollonius de Tyane
est bien une oeuvre sous tension qui amqne j
s'interroger sur les prpsupposps et les attentes
de l'humanisme.

ISBN/ISSN: 9788894598612
Descrizione: Il rapporto intimo tra Pitagora e
l'Eufonia diventa in questo scritto una realtà
applicabile alle relazioni umane, alla
conoscenza della natura ed agli effetti del
nostro comportamento sul mondo circostante.
Questo libro tratta sul nucleo centrale della
saggezza pitagorica: il mondo del Suono, la
costituzione umana ed il rapporto esistente con
le forze cosmiche in stretta corrispondenza.
Una sintesi affascinante della trascendenza
dell'Ascolto, vera sfida per l'uomo
contemporaneo che ha dimenticato sia l'origine
che la pratica di questa Scienza/Arte, quale
chiave per comprendere ed agire
armonicamente.
Long, A. (editor). Immortality in Ancient
Philosophy.
Cambridge University Press, 2021.
Summary: Immortality was central to ancient
philosophical reflections on the soul,
happiness, value and divinity. Conceptions of
immortality flowed into philosophical ethics and
theology, and modern reconstructions of
ancient thought in these areas sometimes turn
on the interpretation of immortality. This
volume brings together original research on
immortality from early Greek philosophy, such
Page 13
View in PDF(opens in a new window)as the Pythagoreans and Empedocles, to
Augustine. The contributors consider not only
arguments concerning the soul's immortality,
but also the diverse and often subtle accounts
of what immortality is, both in Plato and in less
familiar philosophers, such as the early Stoics
and Philo of Alexandria. The book will be of
interest to all those interested in immortality
and divinity in ancient philosophy, particularly
scholars and advanced students.

Abstract: Nikomachos von Gerasa verfasste im
frühen 2. Jh. n. Chr. ein Werk über Arithmetik,
in dem er die auf Pythagoras und seine Schule
zurückgehende Zahlentheorie didaktisch
geschickt präsentiert und veranschaulicht.
Behandelt werden die Primzahlen mitsamt
dem Sieb des Eratosthenes sowie Zahlen aller
anderen Art, die Relation von Zahlen, aber
auch Quadrat- und Kubikzahlen und
Mittelwerte. Nikomachos stellt die antike
Zahlentheorie übersichtlich dar und wurde so
zu einer Schlüsselfigur für die spätere
Mathematik. Das Werk war nämlich höchst
einflussreich: Die Gelehrten Apuleius (2. Jh.)
und Boethius (5./6. Jh.) übertrugen es ins
Lateinische, mehrere Kommentare aus der
Spätantike sind erhalten, und der griechische
Philosoph Proklos (5. Jh.) sah sich gar als
Wiedergeburt das Nikomachos. Ja, noch im
14. Jh. erscheint Nikomachos neben Sokrates
und Cicero als einer der acht bedeutendsten
Denker der Antike auf dem Schönen Brunnen
in Nürnberg. Die neue zweisprachige Ausgabe
bietet die erste Übersetzung des Werks ins
Deutsche und ermöglicht damit einen neuen
Zugang zu einer der wirkungsmächtigsten
Darstellungen der antiken Mathematik.

di Pitagora.

ISBN/ISSN: 9791280203014
Liberamente ispirato al libro "La vita di
Pitagora" di Giamblico, il saggio di Dino
Paradiso dal titolo curioso quanto ammaliante
Il teorema vegetariano di Pitagora, assume un
rilievo del tutto originale nel campo della
divulgazione filosofica. Le ultime ore di vita del
Maestro diventano, per il filosofo greco, una
sorta di testamento della sua meravigliosa
esistenza: racconta, in prima persona, la sua
vita da adolescente, i viaggi, i maestri, la
scuola fondata a Crotone, gli insegnamenti
profusi e le peripezie che lo condussero a
ritirarsi nella piana di Metaponto (Basilicata)
dove morì. È Dino Paradiso a scoprirlo da una
fessura del colonnato del tempio di Hera, dopo
esserci arrivato in preda ad un attacco da
"anonimato lucano". Sembra quasi di trovarsi
faccia a faccia con il filosofo di Samo: i lettori
diventano spettatori giulivi quando il
protagonista accenna alle sue teorie, divertiti
quando esalta le serate trascorse a fare
"musica" con gli amici o gli aneddoti goliardici,
carezzevoli quando racconta dell'Amore
(confida di aver amato una donna) e mesti
quando narra le atrocità perpetrate dai tiranni
arroganti e senza scrupoli.

Schmidt, Y. Ovids Epos Und Die Tradition
Des Lehrgedichts : Mythos Und

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2021.
Summary: The study offers a comprehensive
insight into Ovid's relationship to his
predecessors from the tradition of the didactic
poem in the Metamorphoses. While the
references to Lucretius have been studied
many times, the influence of Empedocles has
so far hardly been researched. His doctrine of
a changing cosmos through the two cosmic
actors love (concordia) and dispute (discordia)
is already evident in the cosmogony in which
Ovid describes the change from chaos
(discordia) to cosmos (concordia). The
reminiscences testify to the admiration of the
teaching poets, but Ovid questions their
authority with innovative modifications.

Descrizione: Una delle più alte manifestazioni
filosofico-scientifiche si affermava, seicento
anni prima di Cristo, a Crotone per merito di
Pitagora. Si impose difatti allora la filosofia del
numero-idea, vanto della solare, armonica
civiltà mediterranea, italica. Non si trattava pei
pitagorici di reconditi e cervellotici significati
cabalistici. Fu gloria di Pitagora di fare
assurgere quasi a religione il numero.
Pitagora, il filosofo scienziato un po' mitico,
che i suoi seguaci considerarono un semidio, è
celebre per sè e più che altro per la sua
scuola, che continuò a lungo dopo la sua
morte; e che fu mistica, iniziatica, retta dal
giuramento della sacra tetractis, la quaternità. I
pitagorici adoravano difatti questa divina tetrad
e, costituita da 1, 2, 3, 4, la cui somma dava
10. La preghiera dei pitagorici alla Tetractis:
"Benedici a noi, o numero divino, tu da cui
derivano gli dei e gli uomini. O santa, santa
Tetrade, tu che contieni la radice, la sorgente
dell'eterno flusso della a creazione. Il numero
divino si inizia coll'unità pura e profonda, e
raggiunge il quattro sacro; poi produce la
matrice di tutto, quella che tutto comprende,
che tutto collega; il primo nato, quello che
giammai devia, che non affatica, il sacro dieci,
che ha in sè la chiave di tutte le cose".

RÉSUMÉ
La quête de la vérité est une aventure
passionnelle ; et la philosophie, un
engagement total. Telles sont les valeurs qui
marquèrent le destin exceptionnel de
Pythagore, dont le génie n'eut d'égal que le
mystère qui l'entoure encore. Voici un livre
atypique, qui renouvelle intégralement
l'approche d'une énigme vieille de vingt-cinq
siècles. Il ouvre la voie idéale d'une sagesse
perdue que l'on aspire à retrouver en ces
temps de bouleversement planétaire.
Parfaitement documenté, mais résolument
affranchi des conventions et des stéréotypes
d'une certaine tradition critique venue
d'Aristote, cet ouvrage sans équivalent dévoile
sur la "question pythagorique" des
perspectives inédites qui devraient -enfinpermettre à chacun de pénétrer dans l'intimité
de la pensée du Maître de Samos.

Summary: The fourth chapter is focused on
reconfigurations of cosmography within the
expanding, contested archive of the Classical
period. It looks at successive rewritings of
Hyperborea in the changing epistemological
landscape of different Classical genres. The
stakes at play in identifying Hyperborea as an
object of knowledge are considered from the
perspective of the great upheavals in the
cultures of wisdom of the Classical city. This
chapter is interested in situating Classical
rewritings of Hyperborea within the ongoing
effort of scholarship to move away from the old
HYROXWLRQDU\µ)URP0\WKWR5HDVRQ¶QDUUDWLYH
A first section looks at cosmographical usages
of the distant North in Attic tragedy. The
second section reconsiders the question of
Xenophanes' reception of Aristeas of
Proconnesus. The monumentalisation of
Aristeas in the agora of early-fifth century BCE
Metapontum is the focus of the third section,
with a review of the evidence for Pythagorean
appropriations of Hyperborea in southern Italy,
and the early circulation of the Abaris legend.
The fourth section deals with some usages of
Hyperborea in early prose. This opens the way
for the final section, which looks anew at the
cosmography at stake in Herodotus' extensive
deconstruction of Hyperborea in Book 4 of
the Histories.

Summary: This article pursues an
understanding of what Cicero thought 'Italic'
philosophy to be, and proceeds to develop a
broader account of how Cicero's version
compares with the surviving textual evidence
and testimonia from the Hellenistic period of
the philosophy of the 'Italic' philosophers,
including the Lucanians 'Ocellus', 'Eccelus',
and 'Aresas/Aesara', and the Rudian Ennius.
Collocation of 'Italic' with 'Pythagorean'
philosophy of this era aids in building a more
comprehensive view of what Hellenistic
Pythagoreanism may have looked like.

Ch 2: Pythagorean Immortality of the Soul?
p 41-65
In: A. Long (Ed.), Immortality in Ancient
Philosophy. Cambridge: Cambridge University
Press. 2021.
It is a commonplace among scholars that the
early Pythagoreans posited an immortal soul.
The earliest source to associate immortality of
the soul to the Pythagoreans unequivocally,
Dicaearchus of Messana, stipulates that they
held that (a) the soul is immortal; (b) it changes
into other kinds of animals; (c) there is eternal
recurrence; and (d) embodied animate
creatures are of the same genus. A problem
with Dicaearchus' account is that each of these
doctrines can also be found in the dialogues of
Plato. Given Dicaearchus' penchant for
conflating Platonic with Pythagorean
philosophy, we cannot employ this account for
a historical understanding of Pythagorean
psychology in a straightforward way. This
chapter instead investigates Pythagorean
psychology through analysis of two passages
RI$ULVWRWOH¶V'HDQLPDWKDWDUHRIWHQQRW
brought to bear on the question. One passage
draws important comparisons between the
psychology of the Pythagoreans and
Democritean and Ecphantic atomism,
suggesting that the early Pythagoreans held a
material theory of soul; by reference to
arguments similar to Cebes' in
Plato's Phaedo (87b-e), the other explains how
a transmigratory soul could nevertheless be
mortal. The early Pythagoreans are thus likely
to have held that the soul is material, mortal,
and transmigratory.

Abstract: It has been noted by scholars that

genres, the dialogue and the drama, in
acknowledgement of their significance for the
Greek discourse on love. This chapter argues
that there is a third important literary tradition
that Plutarch recognizes as central to the
development of conceptions of love and which
plays a substantial role in the Amatorius: it is
didactic hexameter poetry, and in particular
Hesiod and Empedocles, with whom the
dialogue establishes complex, intertextual
relations.

In: Litwa, M. David. Posthuman

Thought : Becoming Angels and Demons.
Cambridge University Press, 2021.
Summary: Empedocles (about 492±430 BCE)
promoted himself as a daimon in flesh. He told
a cosmic story about how daimones fell from
their blessed state and the mode of their
return. The pure daimon is a spherical being
made up of the energy of Love. Owing to a
moral fault, the individual daimon falls into
flesh and enters a drawn-out cycle of moral
and physical purification. The fallen daimon
purifies itself by living the lives of different
animals and plants and by not eating
substances that contain the daimonic essence.
Empedocles is historically significant for his
focus on individual and present
daimonification, and for his cosmic story of
daimonic fall and redemption, a story
moralized by Plato and his intellectual heirs.

Abstract: The cosmic cycle expounded in

unification and increasing separation which is
produced by the interaction of two forces (Love
and Strife) and four elements (Fire and Earth,

that theory is attested by the ps.Pythagorean 2DWK(PSHGRFOHV¶FRVPLFF\FOH
is structured according to the numerical ratios
of the tetraktys (1: 2: 3: 4). This feature
remains to be reconciled with the qualitative
structure of the cosmic cycle as attested by
other sources. The cycle is divided up into
three main periods A, B, and C, with A and C
being again subdivided into three phases each:
A) /RYH¶VFHQWULIXJDOH[SDQVLRQ ([i] initial

time-units. With regard to the Oath and to the
threefold qualitative subdivision of periods A
and C the scholia should be decoded as an
abridged version of a time-table consisting
of two overlapping tetraktyes: one for Love and
one for Strife, one increasing and one
decreasing. On this reading, the
first tetraktys /RYH¶VH[SDQVLRQ Sphairos)
consists of 10 + 20 + 30 + 40 time units, and
the second (Sphairos 6WULIH¶VLQYDVLRQ RI
+ 30 + 20 + 10 time units. The remarkable
feature that the 40 time units of cosmic rest
(Sphairos) belong to both tetraktyes mirrors the
fact that Love and Strife have sworn each
other to respect the forty time units of rest
implied in their respective tetraktys: the
ceasefire granted by Love to Strife and the one
granted by Strife to Love are temporally
coextensive.

This chapter offers an account of central
issues and themes in feminist philosophical
engagements with ancient Greek philosophy. It
starts with an overview of the history of
feminist engagements with Greek
philosophers. The chapter then explores the
role of women in the Pythagorean tradition,

GLDORJXHV$ULVWRWOH¶VYLHZRIWKHIHPLQLQHDQG
the role of women in later Greek philosophical
traditions and ends with suggestions about the
grounds for further research. Throughout the
chapter, there are reflections on examples of
important contributions to this scholarship. The
chapter also contains discussion of the extent
to which feminist work has changed or entered
the mainstream of the field. It posits that
ancient philosophy offers a resource for
understanding the place of women in
philosophy and gender discrimination in
philosophy and in society.

cosmos was not original to Plato, but can be
found in certain of his predecessors. The two
best-documented instances of it occur in
Heraclitus and the new, Strasbourg papyrus of
Empedocles. Both thinkers, in attempting to
frame the place of soul in the order of nature,
also adopt a stratified, hierarchical cosmic
scheme, with rewards and demotions along the
vertical axis. But they also thereby take up
positions on the nature of soul: What stuff is it
made of? Is it (essentially) immortal or not?
And if not, can its immortality be secured?

phenomenon was definitely not some Athenian
peculiarity. In this paper, I consider a

the ancient defense of the vegetarian choice
In: Wright, Laura, editor. The Routledge
Handbook of Vegan Studies. Routledge, 2021.
The vegetarian choice is an interesting subject
of study for Classicists: while certainly
untypical given the cultural and societal
demands related to omnipresent animal
sacrifice, vegetarianism was espoused by a
number of highly influential intellectual figures
including Pythagoras, Ovid, Seneca, Plutarch
of Cheronea, and several Neoplatonist
philosophers. Hardly surprisingly, several
arguments of various complexity were
developed in order to defend and justify the
untypical and potentially disruptive choice.
These range from assumptions of reciprocal
relationship between man and domesticated
animals, condemnation of hunt related cruelty,
through elaborate arguments concerning the
lost harmony of golden age, to the claims
concerning the damaging effects of meatfocused diet (sarkophagia) on the individual
development of a man. The chapter is intended
to provide an introductory overview of said
arguments.

Abstract: The Presocratic legacy relating to
cosmology, in particular from the Milesians,
Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles and
Anaxagoras, pervade the eschatalogical myths
LQ3ODWR¶V Gorgias, Phaedo,
Phaedrus and Republic, and the idealised
cosmic construction of Timaeus. Plato rarely
mentions individual Presocratics directly, and,
when he does, the comments are often gently
ironic, but with an underlying seriousness. In
particular, he takes their cosmologies,
involving theories of time, space, elements,
matter, universal forces and their outcomes as
subjects for myth, accessed by opinion rather
than directly known, but necessary as the
ODQGVFDSHIRUKLVSXUSRVH6RFUDWHV¶FULWLFLVP
of the absence of teleology here is also
relevant. Yet the Presocratics saw themselves
as replacing myth with a new account of how
things are, tackling details as scientific
pioneers, reaching conclusions by reason, or
even inspired guesswork, but independent of
WKHRORJ\7KHUHPLJKWZHOOEHQRµPLQG¶DFWLYH
in the cosmos, or, if there were, it could be a
non-ethical force, working not for the highest
good but for the most efficient outcome.
Nonetheless Plato found the Presocratic
tradition of cosmological theory, supported by
hard argument and in a competitive spirit,
could provide the best basis for his new stories
about our post mortem future.

Harmony is one of the concepts that permeate

Scott, G.L. Plato Imitates Aristotle: Alcmaeon
of Croton, PHAEDRUS 245c-e and LAWS 10.
Academis. Edu 2021. 28p.
Until now, Plato's proof for the human and
divine soul in PHAEDRUS 245c-e has been
thought by specialists to have come directly
from Alcmaeon, a renowned physician who
moonlighted as a philosopher, despite the
proof generating tensions with the PHAEDO
and despite some remarkable similarities with

PROOF FOR THE NECESSARY
ETERNALITY OF THE UNIVERSE (2019),
Gregory Scott offers a more plausible
hypothesis: Because the Stagirite wrote a (lost)
book on the Crotoniate according to Diogenes,
it is reasonable to assume, and LAWS 10
helps confirm, that the Athenian follows his
student-colleague regarding Alcmaeon. That
is, Scott argues that the Stagirite abandoned
by 360-355 the immaterial, unchanging
Unmoved Mover of METAPHYSICS Lambda 6
(usually, but not always, identified with the
³*RG´KRWKHRVRI/DPEGD LQIDYRURIWKH
HWHUQDOO\PRYLQJ³ILIWKHOHPHQW´WKDW
nevertheless is always the same.
Notwithstanding that Plato always maintains a
belief in a supernatural entity, he mimics
Aristotle in the realm of ontology by irrevocably
dropping the immaterial and unmoving Forms
in favor of the primary reality of the (world) soul
that moves eternally in virtue of its own nature.
Page 30
View in PDF(opens in a new window)Hence, eternal movement for both thinkers
becomes the primary ontological "predicate,"
not unmoving immateriality. Scott further
augments his published reasons for the metic
Stagirite not broadcasting his apostasy beyond
a trusted inner circle: In LAWS 10, the
Athenian also mandates jailing atheists for at
least 5 years or killing them (908a-909a).
Aristotle might as well have openly
acknowledged being Catholic in the court of
Queen Elizabeth I or being Huguenot in the
courts of Louis XIV and XV.

Voisin, C. La légende du Pythagore étrusque
: appropriation et réinterprétation d'un maître
de sagesse en Étrurie à l'époque classique et
au début de l'époque hellénistique
2021.
Summary: It is assumed that Pythagoras was
a Samian, but from the second half of the
fourth century BC, some sources list other
possible origins and make the master an
Etruscan. This legend, which is well
represented in Antiquity, is accompanied by
other fabulous stories linking Pythagoras and
Etruria. Pythagoras thus seems to have been
used as an intermediary between Greeks and
Etruscans, while the stories about him were
reappropriated and re-semantised by the latter.
Pythagoreanism thus passed into Etruria in the
form of cultural transfers that were facilitated
by the political context of the late fifth and
fourth centuries, when the aristocracy
assumed new modes of distinction within the
civitas. This evidence of a politically charged
Etruscan Pythagoreanism in ancient literature
allows for a more confident reading of certain
archaeological evidence relating to this
philosophy in Etruria. Il est admis que
Pythagore était un Samien, mais dès la

Le présent volume comprend un dossier de
10 contributions consacrées aux traités
néopythagociens Sur la royauté.
Ces traités sont une étape majeure et
méconnue dans l'évolution de la pensée
politique sur la monarchie. Attribués à
Diotogène, Ecphante et Sthénidas, ils sont
connus par des fragments recueillis par Stobée
vers la fin du ve siècle. Des spécialistes de
philologie, d'histoire et de philosophie antiques
font ici le point des débats scientifiques à leur
sujet, qu'ils concernent leur datation, leurs
auteurs, leur public, leur interprétation
historique ou leurs rapports d'intertextualité
tant avec les fondateurs de la philosophie
politique comme Platon qu'avec des penseurs
plus éclectiques comme Plutarque.

Abstract: A study of the myths and cultic
realities involving Apollo's visit to Hyperborea
demonstrates that many of them incorporate
certain calendric information of different
degrees of precision. Apollo's movements set
within a Hyperborean framework appear to
have mainly been of a seasonal character and
in this respect ultimately conditioned by the
annual motion of the sun. However, this does
not necessitate an outright assimilation of
Apollo to the physical sun; the
correspondences between the deity's voyages
to the far north and the movements of the
celestial body were rather derived from the
explicit seasonality of the rites at Delphi, Delos
and elsewhere.

The Goddess of Parmenides always
announces that the įȩȟĮȚ are a human
product. But there is one point that has not
generally been noticed in the studies devoted
to the study of the įȩȟĮȚ: they describe a
human activity that consists in explaining
reality by the presence of opposite principles,
and that is always related to "nomination" (see
fr. 8.51, fr. 8.38-41, fr 9, fr. 19.3). Was there a
school in Parmenides' time which
corresponded to this sketch, or is it a collage of
Parmenides'? In any case, it is attested the
presence of a branch of Pythagorism which
was characterized, precisely, by "placing"
names on things.
Cornelli, G. Was Democritus a Pythagorean?

Méthexis. 2021, 33, 1, p 1-31.
Abstract: According to Glaucus of Rhegium
'HPRFULWXVZDV³DGLVFLSOHRID 3\WKDJRUHDQ´
(dk 68 A1, 38). The tetralogical catalog of his
works prepared by Thrasylus begins its section
on ethics with the three following
works: Pythagoras; On the Disposition of the
Wise Man; On the Things in Hades (dk 68
B0a±c). The very order of the first three ethical
works of Democritus could point to some sort
of dependence on Pythagoreanism. This was
suggested earlier by , who believes that this is
due to the fact that Democritus
saw Pythagoras as basically the founder of an
ethic-religious sect. Without being forced to
agree with Frank, it is undeniable that there are
many similarities between Pythagorean and
Democritean ethics. The Democritean
sentences that speak about the sense of
shame before oneself as a way of preventing
evil deeds (dk 68 B84, 244, and 264) recalls
the practice of anamnesis, the examination of
conscience in the Pythagorean tradition. Even
more important are the parallel uses of
measure as a basis for ethical reasoning. This
paper aims to review this connection
between Pythagorean traditions and
Democritus, examining what emerges as the
most probable core issue to determine how
close this relation between atomists
and Pythagoreans could have been: the
Aristotelian testimony (de An. 1.2 404a16-20
[dk 58 B40]) on the material conception of
the Pythagorean soul. In fact, a corpuscular

is attributed to the Pythagoreans. Is the
Page 34
View in PDF(opens in a new window)argument of de An. 1.2 404a16-20 a
misunderstanding by Aristotle? Or does this
testimony represent an actual dialogue
that Pythagoreans were having with atomists in

Abstract: In this paper, three problems that
have hardly been noticed or even gone
unnoticed in the available literature in the
cosmology of Philolaus are addressed. They
have to do with the interrelationships of the
orbits of the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon
around the Central Fire and all three of them
constitute potentially insurmountable obstacles
within the context of the Philolaic system. The
ILUVWGLIILFXOW\LV:HUQHU(NVFKPLWW¶VFODLPWKDW
the Philolaic system cannot account for the
length of the day (ȞȣȤࢡȒȝİȡȠȞ). It is shown that
this problem can be solved with the help of the
distinction between the synodic day and the
sidereal day. The other two problems
discussed in this paper are concerned with two
hitherto unnoticed deficiencies in the
explanation of lunar eclipses in the Philolaic
system. The Philolaic system cannot account
for long-lasting lunar eclipses and according to
the internal logic of the system, during lunar
eclipses the Moon enters the shadow of the
Earth from the wrong side. It is almost
unbelievable that nobody, from the
Pythagoreans themselves up to recent
authors, has noticed these two serious
deficiencies, and especially the latter, in the
cosmology of Philolaus the Pythagorean.

one that places the reader, rather than the

that both artists and readers took advantage
both of deftly deployed terminological
ambivalence and of evoked mental schemas
embedded in the literary text, and thus
privileged certain options by contextually reframing (historically or otherwise) said
terminology and its corresponding
organological or symbolic meanings.

Summary: Double speak refers to two parallel
devices that are often deployed together:
simple repetition, which is frequently used as
both emphasis and as an indicator of double
speak, and ambiguous syntax such that the
phrase uttered may have multiple meanings at
once. This paper explores the use of double
speak in early Ancient Greek poetic texts,
beginning with Homer and tracing its use
through the texts of Heraclitus, Parmenides,
and Empedocles. Double speak seems to be
employed in order to mediate between mortal
and divine, creating a double audience: a god
or goddess is capable of speaking in two
registers at once, so a mortal listening will infer
one meaning, while from the perspective of the
god or goddess speaking, the statement will
have another meaning supplemental to the
first. This paper demonstrates the manner in
which these Presocratic thinkers employ

patterns.

this paper considers certain elements of

his religious thought justify a discussion of his

Abstract: The studies of Empedocles have
made headway in showing that Empedocles
postulated a double zoogony. Whereas this
has been traditionally related to the hypothesis
of two worlds per cycle, some Empedoclean
fragments provide evidence for a double
zoogony in a cosmic cycle with one world. How
can we reconcile the hypothesis of two
zoogonies with the assumption of a unique
world? Whereas there have been attempts to
address this question by retaining the
traditional idea of two opposite zoogonic

Ferella C. The Byzantine Scholia to Aristotle

Some Byzantine s, holia to Aristotle offer
numerical indications on the time-length of
some phases of Empedocles' cosmic cycle. In
recent years an interpretation has become
established, according to which the scholia
pro-vide evidence for a cycle with three
periods: the Sphairos and two opposite phases
of Love's and Strife's unfolding. This paper
emphasizes, in contrast, that the picture of the
cycle we can draw from the scholia is not as
clear-cut as generally supposed. On the
contrary, the scholia can be adapted to different, even contrasting, reconstructions of the
Empedoclean cycle. Moreo-ver, they seem to
challenge the received idea of Empedocles'
cycle as the Sphairos and two symmetrical
phases of increasing Love and Strife. Rather,
they can conform to a picture of the cycle with
two cosmic periods: a period of rest and union
under Love (Sphairos) and a period of
movement and separation under Strife.
Ultimately, this contribution emphasizes the
highly problematic nature of the scholia,
indicates the difficulties in drawing whole
cosmological systems from them and advises
against any 'orthodoxy' in their interpretation.

This paper examines the relation between
Pythagorean and Heraclitean political views.
I argue that for Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and
Archytas the cosmological and musical notions
of harmony (ਖȡȝȠȞȓĮ) and the related notion of
concord (ȝંȞȠȚĮ) have an intrinsic political
significance. These thinkers variously reflect
upon political harmony and concord, and agree
that a crucial condition for it is law (ȞȩȝȠȢ),
which according to Pythagoras and Heraclitus
has a divine origin. I begin with the Heraclitean
fragments 22 B51, 54, 72, and 114 DK, in
which social and political reflection is
connected with the theory of the harmony of
opposites. In the case of Pythagoras and early
Pythagoreanism, the intense, albeit indirect
political influence in Magna Graecia²as
transmitted by Iamblichus and Porphyry²
offers evidence for social and political ideas
determined by a reflection on the cosmological

1.9 .11); that Ennius may have remembered
being Homer in a previous life rather than
presenting himself as Homer reincarnate; and
that Ennius may have claimed to possess not
"Homer's soul" but "the soul that used to
belong to Homer." At multiple points, I make
innovative use of an epigram ascribed to
Antipater (<i>AP</i> 7.75) that most critics

the praise of metaphysics_
Filozofia i Nauka Studia filozoficzne i
interdyscyplinarne. 2021, 9, 1, p 251-276.
This paper attempts to demonstrate that the
conviction about the harmony and order of the
world was a fundamental metaphysical
principle of the Pythagoreans. This harmony
and order were primarily sought in the
structures of arithmetics, yet following the
discovery of incommensurable magnitudes
(irrational numbers, as we now call them), the
Pythagoreans began to see geometrical
structure as a fundamental part of the world.
On the example of the Pythagoreans'
metaphysics and science, the paper shows the
mutual relations between metaphysics and
science. It demonstrates-- on the one hand-the necessity of the first as a guide for the
latter, and--on the other--how our scientific
research can change its basic metaphysical
principles when these are found to be
inappropriate. The paper also tries to show the
need for a realistic approach in our scientific
research by means of the same example of the
Pythagoreans, that is, the need to discern
something which is below the surface
appearance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

harmonization under the viewpoint of the
platonic meaning of life
(3,67Ӏ0Ӏ60(7521/2*26
2021, 6, p 7-13
Abstract: The essence of life according to
Plato is summed up in the tendency of every
living being to protect itself and its species
from death, by searching immortality. This
pursuit is achieved either by reproduction or by
intellectual creation. In order for the soul to
conquer the existence which will be worthy of
man, it must separate from the mortal body.
The highest goal of philosophical education is
the soul to be led to the view of the idea of the
good (agatho), which is the foundation of all
knowledge. Thereunto, specific courses are
proposed, Music, Gymnastics, Mathematics
and Dialectics. Music is preceded temporal
and absolute by gymnastics. The school of
Pythagoras was the first to put the music-soul
relationship, in the service of upbringing and
mental physique.
Plato attempts to establish man's tendency for
rhythm and movement in nature and in the
gods. At the same time, he emphasizes the
balance between mental and physical
education, in order to form the right ethos. For
the best fulfillment of these terms, the two
Page 38
View in PDF(opens in a new window)superior parts of the soul must be properly
trained, the logical with music and the
thymoides with gymnastics. The symmetrical
movement of the body is ensured by exercise,
while for the soul, music and philosophy are
used. This targeted intervention will lead them
to a harmonious connection. Moreover, it
should be ensured that the movements are
symmetrical with each other. This is the
real goodness (kalokagathia). The unilateral
cultivation of gymnastics at the expense of
music is considered the main cause of the
decline of the excellent republic and the
decadence in oligarchy, in the regimein which
the morality is imposed by violent, uneducated
people who will have neglected the real Muse,
the one who is accompanied by the logic and
philosophy.
Grillo, F. Socrates (Ap 14.1[-64]) a
Pythagorising Middle Platonist?
Mnemosyne. 2021, p 1-16.
Abstract: This article aims to investigate the
identity of Socrates, the compiler of AP 14.1-64
(arithmetic problems and riddles). Leaving
aside the traditional, but very uncertain,
identification with Socrates the epigrammatist
(D.L. 2.47), it is shown that the chronological
conjecture by Carcopino 1926 (late 1st
century BC-2nd century AD) no longer holds. A
wider time frame is established (1st-4th
centuries AD), although evidence from the
(fairly) securely attributable poem (AP 14.1)
seems to point to the mid-2nd century AD as
WKHPRVWSODXVLEOHSHULRGRIWKHSRHW¶VDFWLYLW\
It is suggested that Socrates was
a Pythagorising Middle Platonist associated
with the philosopher Calvenus Taurus, even if
his relationship with the Neo-Pythagorean and
Middle Platonic traditions remains difficult to
define precisely. The article also considers
some of the relationships that have been
shown to exist between diverging directions
in Pythagoreanism(Delatte 1922), offering
corrections for future attempts

Abstract: As a trace of the Neoplatonic context
of its composition (5th century AD), the
allegorical narrative of Martianus
&DSHOOD¶V Marriage of Philology and
Mercury features several authorities in ancient
philosophy and sciences: just like the gods,
these characters are present in the heavenly
assembly that welcomes Philology after her
apotheosis and her heavenly ascent. After
summarizing the symbolic reading of the
allegory, this paper aims to study the presence
of historical characters in the narrative as a
form of sacralisation linked with the motif of the
astral immortality of great men. In particular,
the roles of Pythagoras and Plato within the
work seem to provide a key to reading the
philosophical or even religious meaning of
the Marriage.

Abstract: Historians of philosophy often
hesitate to assign Numenius to any one
particular philosophical school. He is
sometimes considered a Pythagorist,
sometime a Platonist. Michael Frede seems to
put an end to the controversy by calling him a
³3\WKDJRUHDQLVLQJ3ODWRQLVW´7KHSDSHUGHDOV
with the question by examining the way in
which Numenius sacralises Pythagoras and
the polemical dimension of this sacralisation.
To reach a Platonism that is really one and
authentic, Numenius places Pythagoras at its
origin, portrays Plato and even Socrates as his
pupils, and excludes from this line of thought
all that is foreign to his interpretation of Plato.
In this way, he is in conflict with those who, on
the contrary, have recourse to inclusion in
order to reconstruct the unity of the Academy
and thus accept other trends within it. If, from
an historiographical point of view, Numenius is
indisputably a Platonist, he probably saw
himself as a Pythagorist.

Abstract: Why does Apuleius

that Pythagoras signals Book 11's overarching

inability to access Isiac wisdom hidden by

Lucius' reinterpretation of his metamorphic

ABSTRACT: The aim of this article is to show

through the study of monetary iconography - its
role in sharing cultural traits in this area in the
Archaic and Classical periods - from the case
of images of eagles and thunderbolts (the
attributes of Zeus) used on coins by Crotone,
in Magna Grecia, and Olympia, in the
Peloponnese. The polis and the most
prestigious Panhellenic sanctuary (the main
cult place of Zeus throughout Greek antiquity)
were part of a specific cultural network, where,
for at least three centuries (sixth, fifth and

ABSTRACT. In this article we analyse the
teaching of one of the last Early Pythagoreans,

philosophy of his teacher, Philolaus of Croton.
Eurytus is known to us through his

silhouette. We strive to find signs of Philolaus'
ide- as in Eurytus' practice. Our quest focuses
on Philolaus' teaching on first principles, harmony, generation of cosmos, knowability,
number and musical intervals. Our principal
goal is a separation of these fifth-century
concepts from misrepresentations which arose
due to intense practice of retelling and
reinterpretation of Early Pythagorean thought
during the following centuries; specifically, we
emphasise the impossibility of an abstract
notion of number in Early Pythagoreanism. We
conclude that the structure of Eurytus'
demonstrations correctly expresses all
fundamental aspects of Philolaus' philosophy
and thus gives us a trustworthy representation
of genuine Early Pythagorean thought.

Genesis of the Psychometric Paradigm.

Published May 31.
Summary: Sir Francis Galton singlehandedly
instigated the navigational settings for the
discipline of psychometrics by presupposing
that mental attributes are measurable. In turn,
this presupposition became the defining pillar
of the psychometric paradigm. There were no
scientifically sound reasons for adopting this
presupposition and those Galton gave beg the
question every time. So, what drove him to
endorse this presupposition? Two
considerations steered him in this direction:
first, his Pythagorean philosophy of science
according to which measurement is a
necessary feature; and second, his desire to
present eugenics as a science, which, given
his Pythagorean vision, entailed that eugenics
must involve measurement of relevant mental
attributes. The quantitative presupposition
guiding psychometrics throughout its history
was, therefore, a spin-RIIIURP*DOWRQ¶V
marketing strategy for the pseudoscience of
eugenics.

Classical Quarterly. 2021, 71, 1, p 189-199.
In the mid fourth century b.c. some Roman
gentes drew on a Pythagorean tradition. In this
tradition, Numa's role of Pythagoras' disciple
connected Rome (and the gentes) with Greek
elites and culture. The Marcii, between 304
and 300 b.c., used Numa's figure, recently
reshaped by the Aemilii and the Pinarii for their
propaganda, to promote the need for a
plebeian pontificate. After the approval of the
Ogulnium plebiscite (300 b.c.), the needs for
this kind of propaganda fell away. When
Marcius Censorinus became censor, Numa's
pontificate was no longer relevant for
promoting the gens. For this reason, the Marcii
used another genealogy for similar
propagandistic effect: the figure of Marsyas, a
symbol of plebeian ideals. [ABSTRACT FROM

whether and how Archytas used definitions
and whether he possessed a theory of
definition. Our evidence does not support the
claim that Archytas has a theory of definition,
and his approach to the science of harmonics
suggests that he relied on analogies and
proportions in the practice of inquiry. We
understand sounds and other entities by
placing them in a network of relations
governed by mathematical proportions.
Although he does not seem to have formulated
definitions of sound, Archytas pursued inquiry
into motion and rest by formulating definitions
in such a way that they fit into a larger network
of causal explanations.

De prisca medicina? // Is Philolaus the
opponent of De prisca medicina?
Revista Escritos. 2021, 29, p 264-286
ABSTRACT: The relationship between
philosophy and medicine in antiquity has been
extensively discussed by commentators and
scholars. The objective of this article was to
determine if it is possible to assert that the
Hippocratic treatise De prisca Medicina (DM) is
a criticism directed at Philolaus and, if
possible, in what terms it could be stated. With
this in mind, the work concentrates on the
characterization of the position of the opponent
of the author of said treatise in DM § 1. 15-21.
Particular emphasis will be placed on the terms
³K\SRWKHVLV´ ਫ਼ʌȩșİıȚȢ DQG³SULQFLSOH´ ਕȡȤȒ).
Thus, from four possible proposed
interpretations of the first of these terms,
namely: a proposition postulated but not
affirmed sharply, a proposition whose veracity
is supposed, a proposition that must be
proved, and an object put to discussion or a
purpose, the criticisms that could be at stake in
DM in each of these will be outlined and then
contrasted with the doctrine of the
Pythagorean philosopher that can be
reconstructed from the fragments attributed to
him as authentic, as well as some testimonies
about his medical and epistemological
approaches. Finally, it was stated by way of
conclusion that the Hippocratic treatise that is
thematized in it can be, in various ways,
Page 43
View in PDF(opens in a new window)conceived as a criticism of Philolaus. However,
it is necessary to emphasize that this
inquisition on this subject is not intended to be
conclusive; rather, it seeks to provide relevant
elements to this debate.

people with diverging interests. This scheme is
tackled by Plato in Gorgias, and more
thoroughly in the Republic. Both dialogues
were a source of inspiration for the pseudoPythagorean writings which flourished between
the second half of the 4th century B.C. and the
Hellenistic period. Among them, the treaties
attributed to Kleinias, Metopus, Theages, Lysis
and Hippodamus frequently use the concept of
stasis and pleonexia to describe how a city
may be governed and what kind of danger may
DSSHDULIWKHFLWL]HQV¶EHKDYLRULVQRW
controlled. In general, these treaties adapt the
vision of Plato concerning conflict to some
Pythagorean images and teachings. By
mingling both influences, they blur the frontier
between Platonism and Pythagoreanism and
create a genre of intertwined literature which
may be qualified as bricolage, according to
Lévi-6WUDXVV¶VFRQFHSW7KHVHSKLORVRSKLFDO
texts use a range of material mostly traced
back to the Hellenistic period, but also some
fragments related to the conception of conflicts
and violence in early Pythagoreanism.

Zatta, C. Is Matter Alive? Between Roots and
Daemons: Empedocles' Philosophy of Life
Civiltà e Religioni. 2020, 6, p 1-24
Summary: The article aims to reconcile
Empedocles' physical and eschatological
philosophy by rejecting the latter considers
metempsychosis and demonstrating how both
approaches concur on metensomatosis. In
Section 1, I examine the revelational nature of
Empedocles' physical doctrine according to
which birth and death are considered in terms
of aggregation and disaggregation of the roots,
thus suggesting it is about the continuity of life.
In Section 2, I focus on fragment 115 and
argue that the incarnations of demons too
progress through metensomatosis. It so
appears that Empe-docles' philosophy of life
reflects a tension between a synchronicobjective view and a diachronic-subjective one.
The two points of view are complementary to
the Pre-Socratic philosopher, who engages the
problem of pain and death by means of an
eschatological analysis within a global
perspective which includes all living beings and
delivers soteriological wisdom.

Abstract: In Sade's <i>Histoire de
Juliette</i>, the libertine pope Braschi
develops a dissertation on Nature and murder
in which he displays a materialist and atheist
view of the universe. I propose to understand
Braschi as the embodiment of the
philosopher Pythagoras, the main source of his
characterization being Pythagoras's portrayal
in Ovid's <i>Metamorphoses</i>. I argue that
Braschi reclaims Pythagoras's naturalist spirit
while refuting some of his "extravagant"
immaterialist beliefs: metempsychosis, the
immortality of the soul, and the ensuing
prohibition against murder. Accordingly, I
examine the historico-philosophical
implications of Sade's libertine strategy: was
he a radical <i>philosophe</i>, or a figure of
the Counter-Enlightenment?
