One Book, The Whole Universe: Plato's Timaeus Today
Journal of the History of Philosophy 50 (1):132-133 (2012)

Plato's synthesis was original, reusing previous ideas for a new vision of the structure and coherence of the physical world: his "likely account" (Tim. 29bc) (as he preferred to call it) showed that a Maker or Creator used a form of "geometric atomism" to build up the universe .. | |||||||||
