Contributions come from leading scholars in their respective fields, including Sir Anthony Leggett, 2003 Nobel Laureate for Physics. Parts of or earlier versions of these papers were first presented at the"Timaeus"Conference, held at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in September of 2007. To this day, Plato s"Timaeus"grounds the form of ethical and political thinking called Natural Law the view that there are norms in nature that provide the patterns for our actions and ground the objectivity of human values. Beyond the intellectual content of the dialogue s core, its literary frame is also the source of the myth of Atlantis, giving the West the concept of the lost world. From Platonic space to Presocratic vortices, from Philosopher-Kings to Craftsman-Gods and from modern physics to the myth of Atlantis, "One Book, The Whole Universe"presents in one volume the most up-to-date and penetrating scholarship on Plato s"Timaeus"by some of the greatest minds alive today.
