( ) An excellent joint presentation of Timaeus and Critias which offers a dense, but readable account of Plato's cosmology and metaphysics. It also contains the famous account of Atlantis, but I find Plato's cosmological outlook far more interesting. It is, in some ways, a companion to Plato's Republic. The Timaeus is not a Platonic book to start with, but one that should - at some point - be read. One last additional thought is that I wouldn't allow Plato's geometric account of creation - involving triangles and the Platonic solids - to be off-putting and one can get the overall gist without delving in exacting detail into this unique aspect of the Timaeus. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Plato's Timaeus was his only cosmological dialogue and for almost thirteen hundred years it provided the basis in the West for educated people's general view of the natural world. The author provides a translation of this important work, together with the Critias - the source of the legendary tale of Atlantis. He has taken particular care to provide an accurate rendering of Plato's words and to avoid putting his own or any other interpretation on the works. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
