About this book

A Commentary on Plato’s Timaeus: Exploring the Origins of the Cosmos

Author: Thomas Taylor

Year: 1828

A Commentary on Plato's Timaeus explores one of the most influential texts in Western philosophy, focusing on its account of the creation of the cosmos and the nature of the soul. Thomas Taylor, often called the "English Platonist," provides a detailed Neoplatonic interpretation of the dialogue, drawing connections between Platonic metaphysics, Pythagorean mathematics, and Hermetic symbolism. This edition preserves Taylor’s deep reverence for ancient wisdom and his belief in the continuity of divine knowledge across myth, philosophy, and mysticism.
