플라톤의 아틀란티스에 나타난 전제조건과 임의성 연구

Abstract

This paper studies the term ‘utopia’ that has prerequisite and arbitrariness to understand Atlantis in a unknown aspects. The origin of utopia comes from the place name ‘Atlantis’ mentioned by Plato. Plato demarcated us to contemplate the ideal world of Atlantis through human knowledge and experience. There are elements that allow us to recognize utopia related to its prerequsite and arbitrariness in this paper. Based on the absolute belief that there are no logical errors in utopia, we can freely traverse the world of utopia. The term ‘utopia’ represents a repeated place that does not exist in real world. This fictional world becomes a possible world similar to the real thing through our imagination. So that the Atlantis mentioned by Plato derives secondary theories. This problem starts from the fact that the prerequisites and arbitrariness of Atlantis are omitted at any rate. The story of Atlantis was created during the time when the Earth was considered the center of the universe. Plato created a space that could be interpreted with new knowledge in order to map Atlantis. Atlantis becomes a new model for the world as it reflects changes and technology. Therefore, it is a world dominated by theory and arbitrariness. In literature and philosophy, we create worlds similar to Atlantis to observe and experiment with new events. Plato gave birth to a new world, and Atlantis deeply engages with changes over time. Consequently, Atlantis is a place where the proactive meaning of utopia occurs. This paper starts from the fact that new information and technological advancements about Atlantis endlessly produce new narratives.
