Ancient Greek philosopher Plato (427-347 BC), who was instrumental in laying the foundations for Western philosophy and science, used a regular pattern of symbols to give his books a musical structure, according to a new discovery by researcher Dr Jay Kennedy of Manchester University’s Centre for the History of Science Technology and Medicine. In a five-year study, working with original scripts, Kennedy has observed how Plato used a regular pattern of symbols based on the 12 notes of the Greek musical scale, inherited from the ancient followers of Pythagoras. Using computer technology, he discovered that some key phrases, themes and words occurred during regular intervals, which matched the spacing of the 12-note scale. More in Classical-music.com
