Aristotle considered Plato's Atlantis to be an invention; so we read time and again - but is this really true? Until the late 19th century, academia still held the opposite opinion. How did this shift in opinion take place? And was it justified? Over 100 works from the Atlantis and Aristotle literature, from antiquity to the Renaissance, from the 18th to the 21st century, were examined in order to track down the truth. A scientific adventure regarding Aristotle's opinion about Atlantis unfolds step by step, starting 200 years ago and reaching into the present. What did the great philosopher and disciple of Plato really think? All the relevant passages from Aristotle's works as well as all the steps taken during the literary research are documented in the appendix.

Thorwald C. Franke arbeitet seit 1999 daran, vorherrschende Irrt?er von Atlantisskeptikern und Atlantisbef?wortern zu ?erwinden und den Mlichkeitsraum f? Atlantis als einen realen Ort auf philologischer und historisch-kritischer Grundlage n臧er zu bestimmen. In mehreren Publikationen erarbeitete er wissenschaftlich vertretbare Thesen, die sich als verl舖sliche Wegweiser f? die richtige Interpretation von Platons Atlantiserz臧lung bew臧rt haben. Thorwald C. Franke ist Diplom-Informatiker und lebt in Frankfurt am Main.
