The demiurge,{{Note|Greek: δημιουργός ''dēmiourgós''}} literally meaning "craftsman" or "artisan," is a concept in Platonic philosophy. The demiurge is the benevolent creator of the universe who seeks to create a world as good as possible. Plato first described this concept in his dialogue ''[[wikipedia:Timaeus (dialogue)|Timaeus]]''. | |||
The term was later applied to the creator of the material world in Gnosticism. | |||
