| Abstract | |
Solitude is considered by current Psychology as an index of inadaptability of lonely individuals. The main thesis defended here is that the simple association between solitude and suffering is ideological, and can only be supported by a rigid science that doesnt take history into account and is not open to the knowledge produced by art. Based on the critic theory of society, especially the thoughts of T. W. Adorno and his conception of art and rationality, I have analyzed some literature and philosophy authors from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, notably those considered precursors of Romanticism, its representatives or greatly influenced by it. In this journey, I have tried to show how a type of solitude, present in the life of these authors or in their works, as a topic or in the form, has critic elements in relation to the society they lived and we, somehow, still live, and utopic elements important to those interested in the overcome of this society based on exploitation and privilege. This solitude is the solitude of formation (Bildung, in German), a development of the burgeois individualism in which converge subjective independence and mediated sociability: subjective independence made possible through financial independence of liberal capitalisms ideal individual, and mediated sociability present in the artistic production and reception (AU) | |
