"Geometric shapes and numerical proportions have always been extremely important to the symbolic imagination. This was not alien to theoretical thinking either. We could also say that philosophical and mathematical thinking also has a mythical dimension. Not only in the deep layers of philosophical but also mathematical thinking, there is, or may be, the desire to discover the invisible but essential order and orderliness of the universe beneath the disorder of everyday life.

Geometric shapes and numerical proportions have always been extremely important to the symbolic imagination. This was not alien to theoretical thinking either. We could also say that philosophical and mathematical thinking also has a mythical dimension. Not only in the deep layers of philosophical but also mathematical thinking, there is, or may be, the desire to discover the invisible but essential order and orderliness of the universe beneath the disorder of everyday life.
""A szimbolikus képzelet számára mindenkor rendkívül fontosak voltak a geometriai formák és számszerű arányok. Nem volt ez idegen a teoretikus gondolkodástól sem. Azt is mondhatnánk, hogy a filozófiai és matematikai gondolkodásnak is van egy mitikus dimenziója. Nemcsak a filozófiai, hanem a matematikai gondolkodás mélyrétegeiben is ott van, vagy ott lehet az a vágy, hogy a mindennapi élet rendezetlensége alatt felfedezze az univerzum láthatatlan, de lényegbeli rendjét és rendezettségét."
