By taking the broader approach of this volume, important lessons about the nature of perception may be gleaned from Timaeus’ cosmogony, psychogony, and anthropogony. While there is an emerging modern consensus that the \u003ci\u003eTimaeus \u003c\/i\u003eshould be read literally, this study argues against a literal interpretation of the spatial and kinetic properties of the soul in favour of a metaphorical understanding. Not only does this yield a rich account of the intentionality of cognition but also sheds light onto the nature of the soul-body union. In addition, this volume argues for the largely overlooked significance of Timaean anatomy, as it contributes to our understanding of the providential scheme of Timaeus’ cosmology more generally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCosmos and Perception in Plato’s Timaeus is of interest to students and scholars of the \u003ci\u003eTimaeus \u003c\/i\u003eand Plato’s thought more broadly, as well as those working on ancient theories of perception and the philosophy of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56434665881974,"sku":"9781032274713","price":51.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_36653063.jpg?v=1760592761","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032274713-cosmos-and-perception-in-plato-s","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
