Socrates' Request and the Educational Narrative of the Timaeus

by Charles Ives

This book addresses the relevance of Timaeus's cosmology to Socrates' request for a speech about war. Charles Ives finds relevance in the dialogue's concern for education apropos of the medical dimensions of Timaeus' physics, the project of becoming like god, and the philosophical soul responsible for success on the battlefield.
