Abstract

Loneliness is one of the most pressing problems of modern society. It is not only a complex phenomenon of individual human life, but also a major social phenomenon that requires regular psychological, anthropological and socio-philosophical understanding. Only with a broad interdisciplinary approach is it possible to accurately understand the phenomenon of loneliness, its transformation in the modern world and predict the impact on the world of the future.

             The value of a socio-philosophical understanding of loneliness lies in focusing on the significance of this phenomenon for humans and society. The danger of understanding it only as an individual phenomenon is that it ignores the situations and reasons in which loneliness arises and is felt by a person. Thus, many dynamic factors directly related to the essence of loneliness as a social phenomenon are not taken into account. On the other hand, excessive attention to the social manifestations of loneliness without taking into account its significance for the inner world of a person can lead to a misunderstanding of the most important personal functions of loneliness.
