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.

Autorenporträt
Thorwald C. Franke arbeitet seit 1999 daran, vorherrschende Irrtümer von Atlantisskeptikern und Atlantisbefürwortern zu überwinden und den Möglichkeitsraum für Atlantis als einen realen Ort auf philologischer und historisch-kritischer Grundlage näher zu bestimmen. In mehreren Publikationen erarbeitete er wissenschaftlich vertretbare Thesen, die sich als verlässliche Wegweiser für die richtige Interpretation von Platons Atlantiserzählung bewährt haben. Thorwald C. Franke ist Diplom-Informatiker und lebt in Frankfurt am Main.
