Timaeus by Plato (Πλάτων) (c. 428 BCE - c. 347 BCE) LibriVox "Our intention is, that Timaeus, who is the most of an astronomer amongst us, and has made the nature of the universe his special study, should speak first, beginning with the generation of the world and going down to the creation of man..."'Timaeus' is usually regarded as one of Plato's later dialogues, and provides an account of the creation of the universe, with physical, metaphysical and ethical dimensions, which had great influence over philosophers for centuries following. It attributes the order and beauty of the universe to a benevolent demiurge - a 'craftsman' or god - fashioning the physical world after the pattern of an ideal, eternal one. The dramatic setting of the dialogue is the day after a discussion in which Socrates has described his ideal state - as in the 'Republic'. A conversation between Socrates, Critias, Hermocrates and Timaeus, including Critias' account of Solon's journey to Egypt (where he hears the story of Atlantis), soon gives way t Apocrypha Lucius Apuleius, Plato (Πλάτων) Step into the captivating realm of philosophical inquiry with Apocrypha, where we unravel the mystery surrounding the lesser-known works attributed to Plato. Join Geoffrey Edwards as he guides you through a collection of insightful dialogues and letters, including titles such as I. Hippias Major II. Second Alcibiades III. Theages IV. The Rivals V. Hipparchus VI. Minos VII. Clitopho VIII. The Epistles IX. Epinomis X. Axiochus XI. On Virtue XII. On Justice XIII. Sisyphus XIV. Demodocus XV. Definitions XVI. Timaeus Locrus. These writings provoke thought on profound themes of virtue, justice, and the essence of existence, challenging our perceptions and inviting us to engage in deep philosophical reflection. Douglas Hedley on Plato's 'Timaeus' Dr Douglas Hedley (Clare College, Cambridge, and the Faculty of Divinity) introduces Plato's 'Timaeus'.
