Book Description:
|
By taking the reader back to the Greek colonies of Southern Italy more than 500 years BCE, the author tells the story of the Pythagorean quest for otherworldly knowledge - a tale of cultism, political conspiracies, and bloody uprisings. The emerging hero is Parmenides, who introduces for the first time a technique for testing the truth that relied on the faculty humans share with the gods: the ability to reason.
