	Atlantis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first references to Atlantis are from the classical Greek philosopher Plato, who said it was engulfed by the ocean as the result of an earthquake 9,000 years before his own time.
		Around this same time, the mythical nature of Atlantis was combined with other lost continent myths such as Mu and Lemuria by popular figures in the occult and the growing new age phenomenon.
		Helena Blavatsky, the "Grandmother of the New Age movement" writes in The Secret Doctrine that the Atlanteans were cultural heroes (contrary to Plato who describes them mainly as a military threat), and are the fourth "Root Race", succeeded by the "Aryan race".

		Just as his New Organon was intended as a scientific improvement on Aristotle's Organon, the New Atlantis a mythical Christian civilization of great antiquity, was intended as a scientific improvement on Plato's archaic, golden age Atlantis that had suffered a catastrophic end.
		The New Atlantis is like any other high culture except that ages before the time of the story it had produced empirical science and this alone is what made it idyllic and seem utopian.
		Salomon's House of New Atlantis was one of the main vehicles of that cognitive transition.

	Atlantis
		Atlantis is a legendary island in the Atlantic, west of Gibraltar, that sunk beneath the sea during a violent eruption of earthquakes and floods some 9,000 years before Plato wrote about it in his Timaeus and Critias.
		The purpose of Atlantis is to express a moral message in a discussion of ideal societies, a favorite theme of his.
		And when the rest fell off from her, being compelled to stand alone, after having undergone the very extremity of danger, she defeated and triumphed over the invaders, and preserved from slavery those who were not yet subjugated, and generously liberated all the rest of us who dwell within the pillars.

	Francis Bacon and the New Atlantis
		Sailing, then, from Peru to the New Atlantis gives rise to the possibility of contrasting the failed world of native America to one that is clearly superior, not only to the place left behind and abandoned, but also to the home-world itself in Europe.
		That the New Atlantis is better even than Europe is made clear by the concern the narrator expresses to his companions about their need to behave without bringing "that confusion of face" upon themselves which will reveal their own vice and unworthiness.
		How New Atlantis became Christian in the first place is a matter of concern to the wayfarers who ask the governor a first-granted question about that very happenstance.

		NEW ATLANTIS WE sailed from Peru, where we had continued by the space of one whole year, for China and Japan, by the South Sea, taking with us victuals for twelve months; and had good winds from the east, though soft and weak, for five months' space and more.

	Atlantis
		In Timaeus the issue of Atlantis is raised along with many others, while the unfinished Critias, in all probability, was to be exclusively devoted to it.
		The special attention that Plato's narration about Atlantis gets can be accounted for by the fact that the country described in Timaeus and Critias does not fit in with our present-day ideas of the history of humanity, and the date of its vanishing, as recorded by Plato, goes back to unprecedentedly early times.
		The same thesis of a mistake of multiplication by ten is used by the proponents of the Cretan Atlantis as regards the dimensions of the island, for the numbers Plato gives in Critias do not quite fit in with their theory, to put it mildly.

	Francis Bacon's "New Atlantis"
		In New Atlantis he implies that human greed, which stems from bodily desires, is not something against which to fight.
		While there are decided problems with the society which Bacon presents, simultaneously New Atlantis evokes a deep admiration for the intelligence and profound ingenuity of humanity who produced such an abundance of scientific wonders as to alleviate want.
		This belief is akin to the desires of Atlantis theorists, but also of humanity as a whole between Plato and Bacon, Atlantis is at once the Paradise which was lost and the Paradise which man can regain.

		Most interpreters of Francis Bacon’s work argue that he was a secular prophet and that his story “New Atlantis” was an effort to subvert Christian ideas by redirecting the philosophical quest from divine understanding to material improvement.
		But a close reading of the “New Atlantis,” says Stephen A. McKnight, leads to a very different conclusion: that Bacon’s program was intended to rehabilitate humanity’s relation to God and restore man’s original dominion over nature.
