In this book, the author argues that loneliness is actively constituted by acts of reflexive self-consciousness (Kant) and transcendent intentionality (Husserl) and is, therefore, unavoidable. This work employs a historical, conceptual, and interdisciplinary approach (philosophy, psychology, literature, sociology, et cetera) criticizing both psychoanalysis and neuroscience. The book pits materialism, mechanism, determinism, empiricism, phenomenalism, behaviorism, and the neurosciences against dualism, both subjective and objective idealism, rationalism, freedom, phenomenology, and existentialism. It offers a dynamic of loneliness, whose spontaneous subconscious sources undercuts the unconscious of Freud and the ?computerism? of the neurosciences by challenging their claims to be predictive sciences. 410 0$aValue Inquiry Book Series$v327. 606 $aLoneliness$xPhilosophy 606 $aConsciousness 615 0$aLoneliness$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aConsciousness. 676 $a155.92 700 $aMijuskovic$b Ben Lazare$01066919 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793250203321 996 $aConsciousness and loneliness$93829423 997 $aUNINA
