  1 Intro|          the ancient and mediaeval world. The obscurity arises in
  2 Intro|            analogy of man with the world, and of the world with man;
  3 Intro|         with the world, and of the world with man; to see that all
  4 Intro|        Church, the creation of the world in a Jewish sense, as they
  5 Intro|        deemed the formation of the world and the human frame to have
  6 Intro|         the connection between the world of absolute being and of

 15 Intro|        pattern is not fair. Is the world created or uncreated?—that
 16 Intro|         blasphemy, seeing that the world is the noblest of creations,
 17 Intro|            best of causes. And the world being thus created according
 18 Intro|          God and the nature of the world we must be content to take
 19 Intro|           did the Creator make the world?...He was good, and therefore
 20 Intro|           set in order the visible world, which he found in disorder.
 21 Intro|           order of nature, and the world became a living soul through
 22 Intro|    likeness of what animal was the world made?—that is the third
 23 Intro|            the true pattern of the world; and therefore there is,
 24 Intro|           ever be, but one created world. Now that which is created
 25 Intro|           solid bodies. And as the world was composed of solids,
 26 Intro|            related, whether in the world of change or of essence.
 27 Intro|           the Father who begat the world saw the image which he had
 28 Intro|       principle, borrowed from the world portions of earth, air,

 32 Intro|            Creator received in the world of generation when he made
 33 Intro|            out of them he made the world. Of the divine he himself

 35 Intro|         the uttermost parts of the world in return for their utter
 36 Intro|            one another.~And so the world received animals, mortal
 37 Intro|          or entities, to which the world had been subjected. He was

 40 Intro|         other civilisations in the world more ancient than that of

 44 Intro|         the lower, from man to the world, has led to many errors,
 45 Intro|  philosophy. The conception of the world as a whole, a person, an

 47 Intro|           of them, the laws of the world seemed to be more than half
 48 Intro|          real sympathy between the world within and the world without.
 49 Intro|           the world within and the world without. The numbers and
 50 Intro|           out of which to create a world; but from these and by the

 52 Intro|            also pervade the unseen world, with which by their wonderful
 53 Intro|             He would have seen the world pervaded by number and figure,
 54 Intro|            who first conceived the world to be a body moving round
 55 Intro|       forget the conditions of the world and of the human mind, under
 56 Intro|            and nature. God and the world are mere names, like the
 57 Intro|         priority of God and of the world, which he is imagined to
 58 Intro|          to God the Father; or the world, in whom the Fathers of
 59 Intro|    according to which God made the world out of nothing. For his
 60 Intro|     Scriptures the creation of the world is described, even more
 61 Intro|            created the soul of the world. To the soul he added a
 62 Intro|          an eternal pattern of the world, which, like the ‘idea of
 63 Intro|          eternal, is a creation, a world of thought prior to the
 64 Intro|            of thought prior to the world of sense, which may be compared

 66 Intro|    according to which God made the world, and is in reality, whether
 67 Intro|         the idea or pattern of the world is not the thought of God,

 71 Intro|          the world is prior to the world, just as the other ideas
 72 Intro|          have been a time when the world was not, if time was not?
 73 Intro|          Philebus.~The soul of the world may also be conceived as
 74 Intro|          source of disorder in the world, and of vice and disease
 75 Intro|         these two, the soul of the world is created? It is difficult
 76 Intro|    philosophy of Greece and of the world, was lingering in Plato’
 77 Intro|           becomes the intelligible world...So we may perhaps venture
 78 Intro|  conception of the creation of the world. The explanation may help
 79 Intro|   wandering stars. The soul of the world was diffused everywhere
 80 Intro|     because solid bodies, like the world, are always connected by
 81 Intro|          terms and not by one. The world was made in the form of
 82 Intro|           in which the soul of the world as well as the human soul

 84 Intro|     mathematical laws by which the world is governed remain, and
 85 Intro|            matter out of which the world is formed is not absolutely
 86 Intro|         these solids as a possible world in itself, though upon the
 87 Intro|         opinion that they form one world and not five. To suppose
 88 Intro|    combined in the creation of the world. The soul, which is compounded
 89 Intro|            which the author of the world is unable to expel, and
 90 Intro|          of the planets and of the world beyond them, all together
 91 Intro|            forming the soul of the world.~Plato was struck by the
 92 Intro| blasphemous.~The revolution of the world around earth, which is accomplished
 93 Intro|     account of the creation of the world, or the attraction of similars
 94 Intro|         there that the axis of the world revolves at all? (c) The
 95 Intro|     described as the centre of the world, and is not said to be in
 96 Intro|         Section 5.~The soul of the world is framed on the analogy
 97 Intro|           creating the soul of the world; these remains, however,
 98 Intro|       differs from the soul of the world in this respect, that it
 99 Intro|            whereas the soul of the world is not only enveloped or
100 Intro|            that of continuity. The world is conceived of as a whole,
101 Intro|           The animal is a sort of ‘world’ to the particles of the
102 Intro|       imitating the motions of the world in space, which is the mother
103 Intro|        frame as a whole, or of the world as a whole. According to
104 Intro|         Before men can observe the world, they must be able to conceive
105 Intro|     mathematical laws pervaded the world; and even qualitative differences
106 Intro|          Whether all things in the world can be explained as the
107 Intro|         can any description of the world wholly dispense with it.
108 Intro|           fortunate guess that the world is a sum of numbers and
109 Intro|           persuaded of as that the world is one, and that all the
110 Intro|            of the same soul of the world acting on the same matter.
111 Intro|        upon the composition of the world, and of this Plato may be
112 Intro|        beginning or the end of the world, he has recourse to myths.
113 Intro|            frame of man and in the world. The apparatus of winds
114 Intro|    Pythagoreans again had framed a world out of numbers, which they
115 Intro|          The Atomists too made the world, if not out of geometrical
116 Intro|            He does not imagine the world of sense to be made up of
117 Intro|        Eleatics, who relegated the world to the sphere of not-being,
118 Intro|            in the existence of the world, he rather affirms the modern
119 Intro|            calls the centre of the world (Greek), we have a parallel
120 Intro|            distinction between the world of order, to which the sun
121 Intro|          the stars belong, and the world of disorder, which lies
122 Intro|      centre. He speaks also of the world as one and indestructible: ‘
123 Intro|          Plato agree in making the world move in certain numerical
124 Intro|           yet of all things in the world they are the most opposed
125 Intro|        that God is immanent in the world, sometimes that he is transcendent.
126 Intro|            go beyond him; then the world of phenomena disappears,
127 Intro|          God is withdrawn from the world and returns to his own accustomed
128 Intro|         the marks of design in the world; but he no longer sees or
129 Intro|          banishes him from an evil world. Plato is sensible of the
130 Intro|        things.~The creation of the world is the impression of order
131 Intro|        race to be preserved in the world only by a divine interposition;
132 Intro|         human mind to conceive the world as a whole which the genius
133 Intro|           the discovery of the New World was preceded by a prophetic
134 Intro|          in which the order of the world is supposed to find a place

136 Intro|           of generation and in the world of immutable being. And
137 Intro|       hovering around the sensible world, and when the circle of

141 Intro|      origin of creation and of the world, as we shall do well in
142 Timae|          things in our part of the world—about Phoroneus, who is
143 Timae|             as in your part of the world first to you. Then as to

148 Timae|           in view when he made the world—the pattern of the unchangeable,

155 Timae|           did the Creator make the world? It would be an unworthy
156 Timae|             but let us suppose the world to be the very image of
157 Timae|  intelligible beings, just as this world comprehends us and all other

162 Timae|       number four, the body of the world was created, and it was
163 Timae|         the Creator compounded the world out of all the fire and
164 Timae|          out of which another such world might be created: and also
165 Timae|          these grounds he made the world one whole, having every
166 Timae|        disease. And he gave to the world the figure which was suitable
167 Timae|     figures. Wherefore he made the world in the form of a globe,
