HIPPASUS OF METAPONTUM

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 516 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HIPPASUS OF METAPONTUM , Pythagorean philosopher, was one of the earliest of the disciples of
Pythagoras
 . He is mentioned both by
Diogenes
  Laertius and by Iamblichus, but nothing is known of his
life
 .
Diogenes
  says that he left no writings, but other authorities make him the author of a ,uva71KOs AOyos directed against the Pythagoreans. According to
Aristotle
  (Metaphysica, i. 3), he was an adherent of the Heraclitean fire-
doctrine
 , whereas the Pythagoreans maintained the theory that number is the principle of everything. He seems to have regarded the soul as composed of igneous matter, and so approximates the orthodox Pythagorean
doctrine
  of the central fire, or
Hestia
 . to the more detailed theories of Heraclitus. In spite of this divergence, Hippasus is always regarded as a Pythagorean.
See Diogenes viii. 84; Brandis, History of
Greek
  and Roman Philosophy; also
PYTHAGORAS
 .
