Ordre et désordre dans l’univers Pitteloud, Luca Brill Producción Científica This book offers a new interpretation of Plato’s Timaeus in which the cosmological myth is identified with a thought experiment. Timaeus’ discourse asks us what we would do if we were a divine craftsman in charge of fashioning the universe by bestowing order upon a chaotic milieu. After having adopted three criteria to be satisfied to belong to the category of thought experiment (1: counterfactuality; 2: necessity of image productions; 3: cognitive progress), it is defended that Timaeus’ speech contains both a sequence of deductive arguments and the possibility to combine these arguments into different mental models of the universe. 2025-12-10T13:45:25Z 2025-12-10T13:45:25Z 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/book 978-90-04-68949-7 978-90-04-68950-3 2452-2945 https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/80447 10.1163/9789004689503 spa Brill's Plato Studies Series https://brill.com/display/title/65164 © Todos los derechos reservados info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess Brill
