This almost fourty-year-old observation by Kahn, directs the author of this book towards a fundamentally historiographical rather than philological brand of work, that is, one neither exclusively devoted to the exegesis of sources such as Philolaus, Archytas or even of one of the Hellenistic Lives nor even to the theoretical approach of one of the themes that received specific contributions from Pythagoreanism, such as mathematics, cosmology, politics or theories of the soul. Instead, this monograph sets out to reconstruct the way in which the tradition established Pythagoreanism?s image, facing one of the central problems that characterizes Pythagoreanism more than other ancient philosophical movements: the drastically shifting terrain of the criticism of the sources. The goal of this historiographical approach is to embrace Pythagoreanism in its entirety, through - and not in spite of - its complex articulation across more than a millennium. 410 0$aStudia Praesocratica 606 $aPHILOSOPHY / History & Surveys / Ancient & Classical$2bisacsh 610 $aHistoriography of Ancient Thought. 610 $aHistory of Ancient Philosophy. 610 $aPresocratics. 610 $aPythagoras. 610 $aPythagoreanism. 615 7$aPHILOSOPHY / History & Surveys / Ancient & Classical. 676 $a182/.2 676 $a182.2 700 $aCornelli$b Gabriele$0327273 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810092803321 996 $aIn search of Pythagoreanism$91779909 997 $aUNINA
