[This Week's Books] Including 'On Solitude' and More

On Solitude

The author persistently examined the loneliness of being alone and the pain of interpersonal relationships. The writer is considered a 'pioneer of modern solitude discourse' in Western philosophy history, advocating the necessity of 'solitude' and 'firm loneliness' 60 years before Schopenhauer. The book explores various aspects of solitude divided into five chapters: the effects of solitude on the mind, the effects on the heart, general benefits of seclusion, benefits of solitude in exile, and the advantages of solitude in old age and at the time of death.
