Abstract
Starting out from the distinction between a proper notion of Being and a metphorical one in Plato, this paper aims at investigating the connection between Plato's ontology (as developed in dialogues as Parmenides, Sophist and Philebus) and his Physics (as described in the Timaeus). The author recognizes as central points of this connection the role of the causative model in both the creation (by God) and perception (by man) of the phyiscal world and the notion of image as the key to interpretate the bond between physical and meta-physical space in Plato.
