[Platonic conception of a man as an element of the universe on the base of dialogue "Timajos"].
Dialogue "Timajos" states Plato's lecture on a nature of the universe with special regard for position of a man. Presented in it ideas are based in a considerable degree on the knowledge of earlier thinkers, first of all Phytagoreans. They concern problems of primeval matter properties and world creation based on the rules of geometry. Afterwords the question of soul bestowal on the world and creation of living beings, connected directly with a problem of metempsychosis, are discussed. In the final part of the dialogue Plato focuses his attention on a corporal dimension of human structure. On the basis of triangle theory he describes creation of internal organs, skeleton, blood vessels and organs of senses, their function and the processes of growing old and death of the body. In the whole lecture an attention is brought to disclosure the effect of mind in the universe and purposefulness of creator activity.
