A NOTE ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE WITH SCALENE ELEMENTARY TRIANGLES IN PLATO’S TIMAEUS: PL. TI. 54A-B.
- Authors
PAPARAZZO, ERNESTO
- Abstract
The article offers the author's insights on the construction and concept of equilateral triangle and scalene written in the book "Timaeus," by Plato. The author mentioned the idea of infinite number of scalene elementary triangles in the right-angle proposed by Plato in his book. He argues on the use of Prevailing Translation (PT) as a hindering factor to understand fully the construction of equilateral triangle suggested by Plato.
