Plato's Timaeus

I'm starting my journal here, after the first class, mainly because I wasn't really sure how to start before. I took notes as I read but found that they let me down during the discussion. This is the case, I think, because I was reading the text for basic comprehension, rather than any kind of critical eye toward the ideas of passion and reason. The next post will have some thoughts about the texts, both as they came up during my reading, but more specifically in response to the questions and discussions held in the class.
