The opening of Timaeus begins with Socrates reflecting on the nature of the state and the roles of its citizens. The dialogue then shifts toward an account of the cosmos and the origin of the human soul, emphasizing the contrast between order and chaos under the guidance of a divine craftsman. The universe is portrayed as the product of both reason and necessity, with the soul preceding the body as the harmonizing principle of existence. Mathematical ratios and geometry emerge as central tools in explaining the structure of the world. This section establishes the premise that the cosmos is formed through rational principles.

Acerca del autor
Plato was born around 428 BCE in Athens and became a disciple of Socrates, deepening philosophical thought with his central idea of Forms, which sought truth beyond the sensory world. He founded the Academy, the first higher learning institution in the West, where philosophy, mathematics, and politics were taught, laying the foundation of Western intellectual tradition. In works such as The Republic and The Symposium, he explored justice, the soul, love, and the ideal state, profoundly shaping political philosophy and ethics. His influence extended to later thinkers like Aristotle, forming the roots of Western philosophy. He died around 348 BCE, yet his ideas continue to live on across philosophy and the humanities.
