Sixth-, fifth- and fourth-century Pythagoreans

c ha pt e r 4 Sixth-, fifth- and fourth-century Pythagoreans Leonid Zhmud 1. What does it mean to be a Pythagorean in the sixth to fourth centuries BC? Not every Presocratic philosopher had students, but many of them had at least one: Anaximander was reported to be Thales’ student; Anaximenes probably was a student of Anaximander. Several thinkers, such as Parmenides of Elea and Leucippus of Abdera founded philosophical schools, though in each case only one of their immediate students is known: Zeno of Elea and Democritus of Abdera. We hear also about Heracliteans and Anaxagoreans, some of which are known by name. Cratylus of Athens interpreted Heraclitus’ book but was not his personal student. Archelaus and Metrodorus belonged to Anaxagoras’ circle in Athens and Lampsacus, respectively. As is often the case, Pythagoras exceeds all the other Presocratics both in the number of his followers and in the continuity of his school. Indeed, Pythagoreanism was the only strain of Presocratic thought to survive, albeit in much-modified form,

Some of the main difficulties in defining ancient Pythagoreanism arise not only from the diverse nature of the doctrines attributed to the leader of the school and the reliability of the late sources that have transmitted information regarding them, but also from scholarly debate on the apparently incompatible aspects of a philosophical-scientific Pythagoras and a philosophical-shamanistic one. For some decades, the academic discussion of whether Pythagoreanism was a philosophical school or a religious sect (despite some proposals for their integration) seemed in fact to be at an impasse. A new methodology was indeed much needed to bring some fresh air to the subject, and this intelligent book by Gabriele Cornelli, an English translation of a previous essay in Portuguese, provides that new starting-point for scholarship. Professor of Ancient Philosophy at Brasilia University, Cornelli is one of the most reputed scholars in the field of Platonic and Presocratic Studies. He holds the only UNESCO chair devoted to Ancient Philosophy (under the denomination “ Archai : The Plural Orig
