Plato's Timaeus

Plato's Timaeus presents a cosmological dialogue where a divine craftsman, the Demiurge, designs the universe with order and purpose. He models the cosmos as a living, intelligent being guided by mathematical principles, emphasizing harmony between matter, form, and the soul of the universe. The text explores how the universe is structured and maintained through precision and reason, reflecting the idea that the cosmos is a deliberate, rational creation rooted in geometry and eternal principles. It combines philosophy, science, and metaphysics to explain the universe’s origin and its ongoing balance.
