      abstract = {This work argues that a specific type of Pythagorean  philosophy, called "mathematical" Pythagoreanism, exercised  a decisive influence on fundamental aspects of Plato's  philosophy.  Specifically, innovations of mathematical  Pythagoreans such as Hippasus of Metapontum, Empedocles of  Agrigentum, Epicharmus of Syracuse, Philolaus of Croton,  and Archytas of Tarentum presented philosophers like Plato  with novel ways to reconcile empirical knowledge with  abstract mathematical theories.},
