26Plato on Time and the World (edited book)Springer Verlag. 2023.This book focuses on two central topics that could help us answer how Plato conceives of the physical world and its relationship to Forms.

The second one is Plato’s understanding of the perceptible world. How is it related to Forms, and how exactly does it work? These are central, wide-ranging, and highly contested questions garneri…Read more

Some Reflections on the TimaeusIn Viktor Ilievski, Daniel Vázquez & Silvia De Bianchi (eds.), Plato on Time and the World, Springer Verlag. pp. 179-211. 2023.The main objectives that this chapter aims to accomplish are to demonstrate, as clearly and conclusively as possible, that Plato in the Timaeus posited Necessity, or ἀνάγκη, as the component which contributed the physical aspect of the creation, and that the Timaean Space, or χώρα, was not conceived of as some kind of Aristotelian ὑποκείμενον, but solely as a neutral spatial recipient of the world of Becoming. The chapter aspires to provide a consistent account that will unproblematically accomm…Read more
