The Timaeus - by Plato

The Timaeus is a cosmological dialogue that presents Plato's account of the creation of the universe and the nature of the physical world. This work combines philosophy with natural science, offering a comprehensive view of the cosmos and humanity's place within it. The dialogue explores the relationship between the eternal and the temporal, the divine and the material. The Timaeus influenced later philosophical and scientific thought and remains one of Plato's most ambitious and complex works.
