The second part of Book II, which deals with the section of Timaeus from 29b to 31b, is divided into two major sections:
A) The determination of the types of discourse that should be used for the ceremony of the universe, as well as the manner in which the listeners should accept these discourses (348.13-355.15).
B) The final cause for which the creator constituted the world, as well as the nature of the model upon which he constituted it (355.18-458.11). This second section is divided into three subsections, of which the third is essentially part of the second subsection:
a) The final cause of the constitution of the universe.
b) The nature of the perfect and living being, which also serves as the model of the universe.
c) The uniqueness of the sensible universe, which is mainly due to the uniqueness of its intelligible model.
