I have started a series of videos on the Ancient Philosophy of
Mathematics on my YouTube channel. The series currently has 6 videos
and I will be adding more in the future. In this first set of videos,
we discuss the Pythagorean and Platonic perspectives on mathematical
philosophy. The focus will be on metaphysics and ontology, symbolism
and contemplation, and anagogue, or spiritual ascent. We will be
drawing material from the Introduction to Arithmetic by Nicomachus of
Gerasa as well as Proclus' Commentary on Euclid's Elements.
I have posted the descriptions and links to the first 6 videos in the series on the Via Mathesis blog. Here is a link to the post:

Thanks so much for the series. This is the first time I have been introduced to this type of mathematical meditation to raise one's spiritual awareness. I look forward to your future videos in this series.
ReplyDeleteThanks Glenn I am currently planning and developing the next set of videos to add to the series. They will focus on geometric constructions and give indications for treating this as a meditative discipline.
