We invite you to the next chapter of The Enlightenment Series, our ongoing journey through the brilliant minds immortalized in Raphael’s School of Athens. In our last session, we delved into the boundless philosophy of Anaximander and his daring attempt to explain the cosmos through reason and observation. Now, we step into the world of Pythagoras—mathematician, mystic, and founder of a movement that blended science, philosophy, and spirituality into a unified vision of the universe.
Best known today for his geometric theorem, Pythagoras saw numbers not just as tools, but as the very language of reality. He believed the cosmos was built upon harmony and proportion, and that understanding these hidden patterns brought one closer to divine truth. His ideas influenced mathematics, music, astronomy, and ethics—and continue to echo through centuries of philosophical and scientific inquiry.
This session will feature a 20-minute presentation followed by an open discussion. Come dressed casually and ready for an evening of wonder, insight, and timeless questions.
As always, we continue to move chronologically through the thinkers of the School of Athens, tracing how one revolutionary idea paved the way for the next. Join us as we follow the thread of Enlightenment from the ancient world into our own time.
