Timaeus

Exploring the distinction between the physical and eternal realms, this Socratic dialogue delves into the nature of reality and the universe's creation. Plato argues that the ever-changing physical world is shaped by opinions, while the eternal world remains constant. He posits that everything has a cause, leading to the conclusion that a divine creator is responsible for the universe's existence. The text reflects Plato's philosophical legacy and his belief in a perfect world that humanity has since corrupted.
