“... the word "theory" ... was originally an Orphic word, which Cornford interprets as "passionate sympathetic contemplation" ... For Pythagoras, the "passionate sympathetic contemplation" was intellectual, and issued in mathematical knowledge ... To those who have reluctantly learnt a little mathematics in school this may seem strange; but to those who have experienced the intoxicating delight of sudden understanding that mathematics gives, from time to time, to those who love it, the Pythagorean view will seem completely natural.” GivingMayLittlesSeemsSchoolUnderstandingNaturalViewsHistoryStrangeTheoryIntellectualMathematicsPassionateDelightMathematicalContemplationSympathetic Book:History of Western Philosophy Source: History of Western Philosophy
