Description
What if the universe were a living creature-and you were its heartbeat?
First recited in Athens more than 2,300 years ago, Timaeus remains the West's most daring portrait of creation. This accessible modern translation revives the dialogue's dramatic spark while preserving the precision of Plato's Greek.
Inside this edition you will explore:
- The Demiurge & the World Soul - How a divine craftsman fashions order from chaos and breathes intelligence into matter.
- Geometry of Reality - Discover why triangles, cubes, and dodecahedra are more than shapes-they are the very bones of earth, air, fire, and water.
- Astronomy Before Telescopes - Plato's visionary account of planetary motion, time, and the invention of the calendar.
- Mind-Body Alchemy - A startling theory of human physiology that unites thought, emotion, and cosmic rhythm.
- Study-Friendly Features - Section overviews, key Greek terms, discussion questions, and cross-references to Critias and Republic help readers, students, and book clubs turn wonder into insight.
