A distinguished Platonic scholar discusses the impact of the Greek discovery of the "cosmos" on man's perception of his place in the universe, describes the problems this posed, and interprets Plato's response to this discovery. Starting with the Presocratics, Vlastos describes the intellectual revolution that began with the cosmogonies of Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes in the sixth century B.C. and culminated a century later in the atomist system of Leucippus and Democritus. What united these men was that for all of them nature remained the inviolate, all-inclusive principle of explanation, precluding any appeal to a supernatural cause or ordering agency. In a detailed analysis of the astronomical and physical theories of the Timaeus, Vlastos demonstrates Plato's role in the reception and transmission of the discovery of the new conception of the universe. Plato gives us the chance to see that movement from a unique perspective: that of a fierce opponent of the revolution who was determined to wrest from its brilliant discovery, annex its cosmos, and redesign it on the pattern of his own idealistic and theistic metaphysics. This book is a reprint of the edition published in 1975 by the University of Washington Press. It includes a new Introduction by Luc Brisson.

D.Frede在介紹蒂邁歐參考文獻時給齣的評價是：經典之作，討論瞭《蒂邁歐》中及其之前的“宇宙“含義，簡短而富有啓發性。這評論的是第一部分。第二部分討論天體的運動，包含較有技術性的古代天文學內容。第三部分討論元素的結構，提齣瞭一些現代讀者閱讀古代科學會問的問題，並站在柏拉圖內部做齣有效迴應。

评分挺耐看，四十五年前的書，放到今天當導論也是不錯的。天文學和物理學的細節分析占瞭不少篇幅。

评分替傳統的科學性做瞭太多無謂辯護。
