About this listen

Explore the cosmic blueprint of Western Philosophy.

In The Timaeus, Plato offers one of the most influential philosophical visions of the ancient world—a sweeping dialogue that lays out the structure of the cosmos, the nature of the soul, and the divine intelligence behind creation.

Presented as a conversation between Socrates, Timaeus the Pythagorean philosopher, Critias, and Hermocrates, this work bridges mythology and metaphysics, blending Greek thought with early scientific speculation. Timaeus explains the origins of the universe as the deliberate design of a benevolent "Demiurge" who imposes order on chaos, crafting the world with mathematical harmony and eternal forms as its template.

This foundational work of natural philosophy includes:

  • The geometric and mathematical structure of reality
  • The soul of the universe and how it animates all things
  • The elements—earth, air, fire, and water—and their divine ratios
  • The origins of time, space, and human beings
  • Plato’s cosmological theory that would shape science, theology, and esotericism for centuries

Whether you are a student of philosophy, a seeker of metaphysical truths, or a lover of ancient wisdom, The Timaeus opens a door to understanding the cosmos through the lens of one of history’s greatest minds.
