Experience of loneliness as an Archetype for „Eternal expulsion”
Experience of loneliness as an Archetype for „Eternal expulsion”

Summary/Abstract: Language of theology though its connection with tradition, while satisfying methodological requirements and striving for precision, is characterised by hermeticism as a consequence. That causes semantic problems and creates communication difficulties. Theology is constantly searching for a new medium, a more appropriate narration of religious contents. The author of this article while undertaking the Catechetical truth of a possibility of “eternal expulsion” in the interdisciplinary context, sees an archetype of this situation in the experience of loneliness. While analysing a subjective experience of loneliness in the psychological, sociological, mystical, theological (modality of loneliness) aspects, he indicates the existing, constant and objectified elements. The loneliness of man calls for presence, theloss of personal relations leads to radical destruction. That analysis is endorsed by cited theologians and philosophers. Loneliness is “a kind of death” before an actual death. Loneliness is the most radical experience contrary to human nature which fulfils itself only in personal relations. The interpretation of that experience, its lack of ties, connected with the wholeness of human existence in the perspective of religious convictions facilitates in an analogous – conceptual way an approach to a sense of possibilities of “eternal expulsion”
