Author Description

This 1838 edition of Plato's "Opera Omnia" presents the timeless dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias" in their original Ancient Greek. "Timaeus" explores cosmology, physics, and the nature of the universe, offering a profound philosophical account of creation and the elements. "Critias," though unfinished, delves into the legendary tale of Atlantis, presenting a vision of an ideal society and its ultimate downfall. Together, these dialogues reveal Plato's enduring influence on Western thought, blending philosophical inquiry with imaginative storytelling. This edition provides invaluable insight into the foundational texts of classical philosophy, making it an essential resource for scholars and readers interested in the roots of Western intellectual tradition.
