    Plato 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 first one is the Platonic concept of time. What is it, how is it defined, what is it not, and how does it help us describe the changing realities surrounding us? 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

    Traces of the Platonic Theory of Evil in the Theatetus
    Journal of Ancient Philosophy 11 (1): 66-98. 2017.

My assumption is that in the Theaetetus passage two contrary principles are postulated, one of which is the cause of good, while the other is the cause of evil. In order to support that assumption, I shall argue that a) Plato’s doctrine of the Forms is present in the Theaetetus …Read more

    What Is the Matter with Necessity and Space? Some Reflections on the Timaeus
    In 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
