Drawing from figures like Pythagoras and Platinus, Dr. Mclarney and Dr. Fawcett discuss the philosophical and theological underpinnings of these subjects, emphasizing the concept of unity as a foundational principle. They explain how arithmetic begins with the monad and multiplicity, geometry with the point, music with ratios, and astronomy with shapes in motion, all ultimately connected to a divine order represented by the Logos. The hosts highlight how this ancient perspective views these mathematical and scientific disciplines as deeply intertwined with a spiritual understanding of creation and a path toward wisdom.
