Timaeus argues that the universe was crafted by a divine craftsman — the Demiurge — and chronicles the rational structure of the cosmos, the nature of time, and the constitution of the human soul. Critias then uncovers the mythic grandeur of Atlantis, detailing its mighty kings, its extraordinary wealth, and its ultimate downfall through moral corruption and divine punishment. Together, these dialogues illustrate Plato's unparalleled ability to weave scientific speculation with mythological storytelling, producing a work that has fascinated philosophers, scientists, and historians for over two millennia. This Penguin Classics edition makes these foundational texts of Western thought accessible to modern readers in a clear, authoritative translation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956130328795,"sku":"2026200008024-SECONDHAND","price":8.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9e4794f5-c8b6-4966-b68d-102a0a5c2da0.png?v=1783498147","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008024-secondhand-timaeus-and-critias","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
