Francesco Fronterotta,

Philosophy and Historical Thought

In this paper, I examine Plato’s onto-cosmological conception in the Timaeus , trying to find out how many principles or set of principles are established in Timaeus’ description of the constitution of kosmos . The intelligible model, the sensible copy, the receptacle and the demiurge: these are the different kinds of the things that are and the agents of their relations. But it is not clear at all if this perspective can be represented as a form of monism, dualism or anything else.
