Ulrich<\/strong> S<\/strong>onnemann (1912-1993) <\/strong>was a German philosopher, who, because of his Jewish background, had to flee from Nazi Europe to America in 1941. While there he taught as a professor of the German language. He also gained attention with a book on graphology. However, his interests extended as far as Atlantis, about which he wrote a number of papers(a)<\/sup>. One quote from his work is interesting –<\/p>\n

“I’ve always found\u00a0Atlantis\u00a0fascinating, yes when in my youth I read the relevant dialogues of\u00a0Plato, the Timaeus\u00a0and the Critias.\u00a0It is not clear why\u00a0Atlantis\u00a0must necessarily be attributed to a mythology, because\u00a0Platobelongs to a period that we know today as the Greek Enlightenment and in which there is a very clear anti-mythological tendency.\u00a0Everything is described so meticulously that there can be no doubt that \u2013 at least in\u00a0Plato’s\u00a0mind \u2013 it was historical.<\/em><\/p>\n

What strikes me about many things is what is called “jumping to conclusion” in English: that fantastic tendencies are already inferred when the topic is formulated;\u00a0that where one finds certain theses not very credible or has something to criticize about them, one does not engage critically with them, but makes the whole topic taboo;\u00a0that, in other words, one exhibits behavior contrary to science.”<\/em><\/p>\n
