Pythagorean Harmonics from Philolaus to Leibniz

2000 years of productive tension between the discrete and the continuous
-an international and interdisciplinary workshop-

On October 19 and 20, international scholars will gather at ECLA of Bard to discuss recent discoveries and emerging research on early Pythagorean number theory beyond disciplinary boundaries and time periods, in a framework that grapples with the typical segregation of academic disciplines. The workshop participants will aim to build an innovative and integrative account of one important legacy of Pythagorean science in cultural production.
