The Timaeus and Critias of Plato is a classic philosophical work that comprises two of Plato's dialogues - the Timaeus and the Critias. The Timaeus is a philosophical treatise that explores the nature of the universe and the origins of the world. It discusses the creation of the world by a divine craftsman, the nature of the soul and the relationship between the physical and the metaphysical. The Critias is a narrative that tells the story of the legendary island of Atlantis and its downfall. It explores the themes of power, corruption, and the consequences of human actions. Together, these two dialogues offer a unique insight into Plato's philosophy and his views on the nature of reality and the human condition. This edition of The Timaeus and Critias of Plato is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, history, and mythology.1810. An accurate translation of two Plato works, Thomas Taylor was considered the most noted translator and scholar of Greek philosophy in the 18th century. For the serious student of symbolism, The Timaeus provides an invaluable key to ancient cosmologies and gives the philosophic pattern and psychological meaning underlying the world mythologies. The Critias is an account of the lost island of Atlantis and of the deluge referred to in the history of many ancient peoples, notably the Mayans.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
