Loneliness in Culture as a Permanent Process of Being with Loneliness

Abstract

The article is an attempt to define ways of feeling loneliness in the context of provoking of the creative act. The text introduces the concept of loneliness in culture, in other words the loneliness of being or being with loneliness as a permanent process from the stage of perceiving one’s otherness to the stage of re-examinations, tiredness and the feeling of a lifetime of failure or vital fulfilment. The author points to differences between the influence of feeling loneliness in the domain of contest culture and its effect on other spaces of human existence. It is an attempt to answer the question whether such loneliness of being is factuality, a necessity or maybe a choice.
