Remarks on the Phenomenology of Solitude

Summary/Abstract: The study seeks to clarify solitude as a more original phenomenon than the sociality derived from it and advocates solitude as the most ontological trait of hypostazing the subject. The author draws on the analyses of the solitude of Emmanuel Levinas who understands solitude as the basic category in the architecture of being. In this case Levinas fundamentally contradicts Heidegger, for whom solitude is merely a deficient mode of being with others and is derived rather by a more originally co-existence than by its negation. These are analyses that the author considers as unsurpassed but also neglected or overlooked. Existence is rooted in itself. It is the self-relationship of the existing to the event of his existence, it is an irreversible unity between the existing and its existence. This is the most original union. It is solitude more original than loneliness.
