Reviews for God and Forms in Plato
Mohr's collection of essays has remained over the years one of the standard reference books for Timaeus . . . . [he] was and remains right to insist on the importance of Timaeus to a number of central Platonic issues. . . I continue to applaud his insistence that we take Timaeus literally"". - Heythrop Journal
