Through the voice of the philosopher Timaeus, the dialogue describes the creation and structure of the universe, presenting a vision of an ordered cosmos shaped by intelligence and harmonious design. Plato examines the relationship between the physical world and the realm of eternal forms, offering one of the earliest systematic accounts of the universe in Western philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe companion dialogue \u003cem\u003eCritias\u003c\/em\u003e continues the discussion by recounting the story of an ancient civilisation said to have existed beyond the Pillars of Hercules: the powerful island kingdom of Atlantis. The narrative contrasts the virtues of an idealised ancient Athens with the moral decline of Atlantis, whose destruction serves as a reflection on political order, virtue, and the fate of societies that abandon moral discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTogether these dialogues combine philosophical speculation with mythic narrative, illustrating Plato's distinctive method of using dialogue and allegory to explore complex ideas about nature, society, and human understanding. Their influence has extended across centuries of philosophical and cultural thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 188\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53744396697907,"sku":"9781617201066","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/unRFWnkLB9781617201066.webp?v=1785234958","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/timaeus-and-critias-platos-dialogues-on-the-cosmos-and-atlantis-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
