The next meeting of our reading group on Timaeus will be on 24th May, Friday morning, at the Philosophy Department of Soochow University (東吳大學外雙溪校區, 第二教研大樓8樓, the same room as before), from 10.00 to 12.00.
Last time, we tried to figure out Plato's interesting (and puzzling) description of the cosmos in Plato's Timaeus 32-34, where he explains the four natural elements in terms of mathematics. More mathematics will come in the following pages.
This time we will continue to read Plato's Timaeus from 34c, and probably will go over about five Stephanus pages.
All are welcome.
