Pythagoras’ philosophy was carried on by his followers. Some philosophers, later on, that followed Pythagoreanism were: Alcmaeon, Hippasus, Philolaus, and Archytas. Pythagoreanism is based on the ways of life and beliefs of Pythagoras. Alcmaeon, a later philosopher of Pythagoreanism is said to be one of the greatest philosophers, naturalists, and neuroscientists of all time. Pythagoras once said, “ You should do great things and not promise great things,” and that’s what he did. Pythagoras is often referred to as the “Father of Numbers” or the “First Pure Mathematician.” It is because of Pythagoras, that we have this great insight about science, astrology, and mathematics.
