Archytas z Tarenta citáty

Archytas alebo Archýtás bol grécky filozof a vedec, predstaviteľ pytagoreizmu.

V Tarente bol zvolený sedemkrát za stratéga a ako vojvodca nikdy neutrpel porážku. Priateľsky sa stýkal s Platónom, ktorý ho poznal pravdepodobne pri svojej prvej ceste na grécky Západ.

Archytas sa s úspechom zaoberal tradičnými pytagorovskými disciplínami, najmä aritmetikou, geometriou,

akustikou a náukou o tónoch. Pod Archytasovým menom kolovalo neskôr mnoho nepravych spisov. Niekoľko zlomkov sa zachovalo z jeho spisu Harmonikos . Wikipedia

Archytas z Tarenta: Citáty v angličtine

“That tho' a Man were admitted into Heaven to view the wonderful Fabrick of the World, and the Beauty of the stars, yet what would otherwise be Rapture and Extasie, would be but melancholy Amazement if he had not a Friend to communicate it to.”

Attributed to Archytus by Christiaan Huygens, The Celestial Worlds Discover'd (1722) Book 1, pt.4 and quoted by Arthur Beer, Vistas in Astronomy (1955) Vol.1 https://ia600304.us.archive.org/35/items/VistasInAstronomy-Volume1/Beer-VistasInAstronomyVolume1.pdf

“The unwritten laws of the gods were promulgated against depraved manners, inflicting a severe destiny and penalty on the disobedient; and these unwritten laws are the fathers and leaders of those that are written, and of the dogmas established by men.”
