In 'Timaeus,' Plato presents a detailed account of the formation of the universe. The dialogue is primarily delivered through long monologues by Timaeus and Critias. It describes the universe as the product of a rational, purposive, and beneficent agency, created by a divine Craftsman (Demiurge) who imitates an eternal and unchanging model. The work discusses the distinction between the eternal and the physical worlds, the composition of the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water) linked to Platonic solids, and the creation of the cosmic soul and its role in governing the universe. The dialogue also touches on various philosophical themes, including the nature of God, the distinction between the sensible and intellectual, and the concepts of time and space.

In this work, Lossky argues that all theology is mystical in the sense that it shows forth the divine mystery. He emphasizes that the Eastern tradition has never made a sharp distinction between mysticism and theology, or between personal experience of the divine mysteries and the dogma affirmed by the Church. The book delves into the concepts of apophaticism, asceticism, the Holy Trinity, uncreated energies of the Godhead, and the goal of Christian mysticism, which is theosis or union with God. Lossky draws heavily from the great mystical theologians of the Eastern Church to illustrate the inherent unity of thought on mysticism in the Eastern tradition.
