Τίμαιος, Τόμος Β

by Plato

"Τίμαιος, Τόμος Β" by Plato is a philosophical dialogue written around 360 BC. Through long monologues by the character Timaeus, the work explores the nature of the physical world and human existence. Timaeus describes how a divine craftsman—the demiurge—created the universe by bringing order to chaos, using eternal and perfect forms as a template. The dialogue distinguishes between the changing physical world and the unchanging eternal realm, examining the cosmos as a living, intelligent creature shaped by purpose and design.
