Time and Cosmology in Plato and the Platonic Tradition

Plato describes Timaeus as a rich, well-born expert in astronomy who has held high political offices in his natal Locri. There is no other record of him outside the Timaeus and Critias, which suggests that he is a Platonic invention. See Nails (1998, 293). 2 Timaeus calls him a "demiurge" dēmiurgos (Ti. 28a6), a "maker" poiētēs (Ti. 28c3), a "father" patēr (Ti. 28c3) and an "artificer" ho tektainomenos (Ti. 28c6).

In this paper, Plato’s notion of the sudden moment is fully explored. In the Parmenides, the “now” (nun) and the “sudden” (exaiphnês), it is argued, refer to one and the same entity from the distinct perspectives of timeless Being and temporal Becoming, respectively. This interpretation tallies well with, and enriches, the Platonic views on time and eternity found in the Timaeus. Finally, the paper highlights the pivotal role of the third deduction, where the sudden moment appears, for an understanding of the entire dialectical exercise of the Parmenides.
