Pythagoras of Samos⎥The Beginnings of Philosophy
The Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras of Samos (c. 570-495 BC) is one of the most enigmatic figures of antiquity.
His role is controversial among scholars: some consider him a religious leader with little scientific interest, others a significant philosopher, mathematician, and natural scientist.
In this video, you'll learn who Pythagoras was, why he and his students were vegetarians, and what his famous phrase "Everything is number" means.
