In the Platonic school of philosophy, the
Demiurge is a deity who fashions the physical world in the light of eternal ideas. In the
Timaeus,
Plato credits the Demiurge with taking preexisting materials of chaos
and arranging them in accordance with the models of eternal forms.
Nowadays, the word
demiurge can refer to the individual or group chiefly responsible for a creative idea, as in
"the demiurge behind the new hit TV show."
Demiurge derives, via Late Latin, from Greek
dēmiourgos, meaning "artisan," or "one with special skill." The
demi- part of the word comes from the Greek noun
dēmos, meaning "people"; the second part comes from the word for worker,
ergon. Despite its appearance, it is unrelated to the word
urge.
