330 .. $a "Plato's Timaeus is one of the most influential and challenging works of ancient philosophy
to have come down to us. Sarah Broadie's rich and compelling study proposes new interpretations
of major elements of the Timaeus, including the separate Demiurge, the cosmic 'beginning',
the 'second mixing', the Receptacle and the Atlantis story. Broadie shows how Plato
deploys the mythic themes of the Timaeus to convey fundamental philosophical insights
and examines the profoundly differing methods of interpretation which have been brought
to bear on the work. Her book is for everyone interested in Ancient Greek philosophy,
cosmology and mythology, whether classicists, philosophers, historians of ideas or
historians of science. It offers new findings to scholars familiar with the material,
but it is also a clear and reliable resource for anyone coming to it for the first
time"-- ; "The aim throughout is to identify certain major philosophical concerns
that shape Plato's fashioning of the Timaean system. Quite often this will involve
working out the implications of his not having adopted some feature or assumption
of the actual account. Applying this method is not a matter of portraying Plato as
psychologically deliberating between unsettled options: it is a matter of making conceptual
comparisons between his actual positions and alternatives not chosen. But whereas
it is mostly pointless and irrelevant to try to tap into Plato's personal psychology,
it is not pointless and irrelevant to bear in mind his historical time and place in
trying to reconstruct the problematic that underlies one or another portion or aspect
of the Timaeus"--
