Description:
In this book, the intimate relationship between Pythagoras and Euphony becomes a reality which can be applied to human relationships, to the knowledge of nature and the effects of our behaviour on the surrounding world. This text deals with the core of the Pythagorean wisdom: the world of Sound, the human constitution and the relationship with cosmic forces in close correspondence. A fascinating synthesis of the transcendence of Listening, a true challenge for the contemporary man who has forgotten both the origin and the practice of this Science/Art, an essential key to understand and act harmoniously.
