R. D. Archer-Hind Timaeus of Plato

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. To this end it will be necessary to examine Plato's meta physical teaching as propounded in a group of dialogues, whereof the most important metaphysically are the Republic and Fitam'o - with which are in accordance the Pfiam'rur, Symposium, Mmo, and apparently the Cratylus - and next the amended form of their teaching, as it appears in four great dialogues of the later period, Parmenides, Soplrz'rt, Pbilebus, Timaeus especially of course the last. The Sokratic dialogues may be dismissed as not hearing upon our question.
