Synopsis
A dialogue in two parts from a central figure in Western philosophy
A response to Socrates's account of an ideal state, Timaeus and Critias begins with Timaeus’s theoretical exposition of the cosmos and his story describing the creation of the universe, from its very beginning to the coming of man. Timaeus introduces the idea of a creator God and speculates on the structure and composition of the physical world.
Critias, the second part of Plato’s dialogue, comprises an account of the rise and fall of Atlantis, an ancient, mighty and prosperous empire ruled by the descendents of Poseidon, which ultimately sank into the sea.

Plato wrote over twenty philosophical dialogues.
