Demiurge
Demiurge (from the
Greek , Latinized , meaning "artisan" or "craftsman", literally "worker in the service of the people", from "of the people" + "work") is a term for a
creator deity, a divine artisan or architect responsible for the
creation of the
physical universe.In the sense of a divine creative principle, the word was introduced by
Plato in
Timaeus, 41a (ca. 360 BC). It subsequently appears in a number of different religious and philosophical systems of
Late Antiquity, besides
Platonic realism most notably in
Neoplatonism and
Gnosticism:For Plato, the demiurge is a benevolent creator of the laws or the heaven or of the world in
Timaeus.
Plotinus identified the demiurge as
nous (divine reason), the first emanation of "
the One" (see
monad). Neoplatonists personified the demiurge as
Zeus. In
Gnosticism, the material universe is seen as
evil, and the demiurge is the evil creator of the physical world.

Demiurgo
Il demiurgo (in
greco δημιουργός, composto da "δήμιος", cioè "del
popolo", ed "ἔργον", cioè "lavoratore", quindi compositamente
artigiano) è una figura
filosofica e al tempo stesso
mitologica. La figura del Demiurgo non è infatti argomentata razionalmente, ma è introdotta come ipotesi cosmologica che ha carattere verosimile; si tratta in altre parole di un mito, di cui Platone, come in altri casi, si serve, per descrivere in modo intuitivo e narrativo, anziché con una rigorosa argomentazione dimostrativa, un aspetto del suo pensiero particolarmente difficile da illustrare e comprendere.
