| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
When reading Cocteau's intimate journals (1951-1963) published posthumously under the title“The Past Defined”, one may be surprised to find frequent references to occult themes such as flying saucers (UFOs) and pseudoarchaeology (such as the existence of Atlantis and Mu). How should we understand these themes and the true intentions of the author? It is not easy to provide a definite answer to this question, but at least it may be pointed out that in his later years, Cocteau had a great deal of sympathy for young pseudoscientists who objected to the theories of modern physics. There is no denying that the poet was under the influence of pseudoscience and closely related occult themes.
