Solitude and Loneliness

What is loneliness and how is it different from merely being alone?  What qualities of character tend to make some people more lonely than others and why?  Is the recent “loneliness epidemic” the result of modern individualism?  Can loneliness–or something like it–bring out some of the best of ourselves?  How can I take responsibility for any loneliness I might face?

This reading group will explore such questions primarily from a philosophical perspective.  We will meet live, online.  Undergrads and graduate students welcome!

Begins Tuesday, March 24, 6:15 pm central
