 Jíra, Petr ; Mráz, Milan (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Zdeněk (advisor)
The main problem of the Epinomis is number and its enormous value. In my work I try to explain all implications this interesting approach to reality. The anonymous author of the Epinomis associates number almost with all sort of branch. Some associations are quite startling. Knowledge of number- mathematics- is necessary for all arts, crafts, politics etc. Religion is all-important sphere in the Epinomis, in which the main thing is number. I try to contrast this mathematics-religion with traditional Greek religion. In the following I aspire to explain Plato's aproach to mathematics. I think that Plato's religion isn't mathematics. In the following I explain that mathematics in the Epinomis is divided into arithmetic, geometry,solid geometry, hormony and astronomy. The main science is astronomy, becouse in this branche man can to comprehend the value of number in the cosmos. The star's [planet] motion is perfectly periodical. The starry sky is the best teacher.
