Description
The Tomb of the Artisan God provides a radical rereading of Timaeus, Plato's metaphysical text on time, eternity, and the relationship between soul and body. Now available in English with a new preface by Serge Margel, this engagement with Platonic thought proceeds from two questions that span the history of philosophy: What is time What is the body
