Editorial Reviews
Daniel Guerriere
"John Sallis, the major American philosopher outside the analytic orbit, offers here a radical re-reading of the Timaeus. . . . It makes us want to re-read the Platonic text with fascination. And that is but its grandest gift." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Book Description
In Chorology John Sallis takes up one of the most enigmatic discourses in the history of philosophy. Plato's discourse on the 1/2chora -- the chorology -- forms the pivotal moment in the Timaeus. The implications of the chorology are momentous and communicate with many of the most decisive issues in contemporary philosophical discussions. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
