What reading level is Timaeus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This cannot be thearchetype according to which God made the world, and is in reality, whether in Plato or in Kant, a mere negative residuum of human thought.
There is another aspect of the same difficulty which appears to have nosatisfactory solution. In what relation does the archetype stand to theCreator himself? For the idea or pattern of the world is not the thoughtof God, but a separate, self-existent nature, of which creation isthe copy. We can only reply, (1) that to the mind of Plato su...bject andobject were not yet distinguished; (2) that he supposes the process ofcreation to take place in accordance with his own theory of ideas; andas we cannot give a consistent account of the one, neither can we ofthe other. He means (3) to say that the creation of the world is nota material process of working with legs and arms, but ideal andintellectual; according to his own fine expression, 'the thought ofGod made the God that was to be. ' He means (4) to draw an absolutedistinction between the invisible or unchangeable which is or is theplace of mind or being, and the world of sense or becoming which isvisible and changing.
