Discusses the impact of the Greek discovery of the "cosmos" on man's perception of his place in the universe, and describes the problems this posed. In an analysis of the astronomical and physical theories of the Timaeus, this work demonstrates Plato's role in the reception and transmission of the discovery of the new conception of the universe.
