The truth, memories and time

Abstract

The Timaeus is therefore the continuation of the discourses on the «perfect city», on the distinction of citizens into three classes, on the education of men in the city, on the community of property, women and children. So, is it a «political» dialogue? Not exactly, but rather a dialogue that frames the politics of the city in a «cosmic» horizon, in which life, the vicissitudes, the history of the city of men is being inserted into a life and a history much broader, that of the entire universe.
