Gabriela Roxana Carone Libri

Exploring Plato's late cosmology, this work reveals the intricate links between his philosophical views on the universe and his ethical theories. It delves into how his understanding of cosmic order influences moral principles, offering a comprehensive analysis that intertwines metaphysics and ethics. Through a systematic approach, the book highlights the relevance of Plato's ideas in contemporary discussions on morality and the nature of existence.

The second edition of La noción de dios en el Timeo de Platón encapsulates the author's recent research, with a new Introduction that brings out the importance of the Timaeus with regard to the mind-body relation and to Plato's late ethics as well as providing fresh and illuminating perspectives on the problems of creation and of the Demiurge, whose philosophical meaning, ontological status, and relation to other levels of divinity are closely analyzed in the remainder of the book. Both specialist and non-specialist readers will find a wealth of discussion not only on the cosmology and theology of the Timaeus but also its metaphysics, moral philosophy, and philosophical anthropology, placed within the context of the current scholarly debate.
