Plato's Cosmology: The Timaeus of Plato Hardcover - 1997
by Francis M. Cornford
Summary
Of all the writings of Plato the Timaeus is the most obscure and repulsive to the modern reader, and has nevertheless had the greatest influence over the ancient and mediaeval world. The obscurity arises in the infancy of physical science, out of the confusion of theological, mathematical, and physiological notions, out of the desire to conceive the whole of nature without any adequate knowledge of the parts, and from a greater perception of similarities which lie on the surface than of differences which are hidden from view.
First line
SOCRATES. One, two, three-but where, my dear Timaeus, is the fourth of those guests of yesterday who were to entertain me to-day ?
