Plato’s main intention is to introduce us to natural philosophical considerations through psychology. If the mythical concepts in the Timaeus refer to a certain inherent structure of the human psyche from which every cosmological or scientific explanation begins, then it is impossible to remove them from Plato’s work. Moreover, it is precisely in this way that a significant distinction between model and reality is established, which modern science also widely recognizes. Before embarking on cosmological research, it is necessary to thoroughly examine the capabilities and limitations of our cognitive apparatus. Are there, for example, dominant structures in the human psyche, do they influence the conception of our scientific theories and to what extent, can they be described mathematically, and most importantly, do they have a biological or biophysical basis? These are just some of the fundamental questions that Dr. Aleksandar Kandić deals with in his work, interpreting Plato’s original text.
