In this video, I explain the first section of the creation myth set forth in Plato’s Timaeus. I begin by explaining its mythological background, and arguing for the rationality of myth. I then sketch the basic picture of the Timaeus, in which the universe is said to be the artistic creation of a demiurge, who copied the beauty he saw in the eternal realm of the forms, in the world of becoming. After the basic frameworks is set forth, I elaborate some specific features of the model: Its account of the universe as a living being, the formation of the universe’s body and soul, and the creation of time, gods, and humanity.
