Beschreibung:
Lars Svendsen is professor of philosophy at the University of Bergen in Norway. He is the author of many books, including A Philosophy of Boredom, A Philosophy of Fear, and A Philosophy of Freedom, all also published by Reaktion Books. Kerri Pierce is a translator focusing on Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, and German.
A Philosophy of Loneliness explores the different kinds of loneliness, the philosophy of emotions, why some people are lonelier than others, and the psychological and social characteristics that dispose people to loneliness.
Loneliness is a difficult subject to address, because it has such negative connotations. But the truth is that wherever there are people, there is loneliness: everyone is lonely at some point in their lives. You can belonely in a crowd or at home, outdoors or in an empty church, and countless songs have been written about the condition. For many people, loneliness can significantly impact their quality of life and their physical and mental health. At the same time, our best moments can come when we are alone, and this can tell us something important about our place in the world.
