Seclusion

a safe place? remarks on the biography of an outsider

Gerhard Benetka

pp. 9-22

Gustav Ichheiser was and remained a so-called scientific outsider at the time of his life. This chapter shows that this role of the outsider is anything but desirable. Seclusion isn't a safe place. The costs and downfalls of such a 'safe place" are reviewed with emphasis on the tremendous loss of scientific knowledge as a result of it.
