dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this thesis is to compare the philosophy of the Pythagoreans and the philosophy of Plato in order to determine the extent to which Plato was influenced by Pythagoras.To do so we will be analyzing writings about Pythagoras and his followers to piece together what makes Pythagoreanism distinct, and then compare it to the philosophical beliefs we find in Plato’s writings, particularly Timaeus, Phaedo, Republic, and Menoen_US
