Description: What we explore in Loneliness is something which underlies those occasional forms of personal loneliness which are familiar to us all. First, there is a cultural loneliness, characteristic of the modern world. Urban Americans, for example, are inherently lonely in a way that villagers in India are not. And then there is an even deeper loneliness that is a universal human experience, inherent in the human condition.
