摘要

The aim of this paper is to elucidate a type of loneliness that is epistemic in nature. It is so, I will argue, in virtue of the fact that it is first and foremost related to our capacities as knowers. This kind of loneliness can be distinguished and hence identified on the basis that it primarily arises in virtue of, it is primarily responsive to, and specifically affects the knowledge-creating, knowledge-accruing and knowledge-sharing dimensions of interpersonal interactions. Identifying such form of loneliness, I will argue, makes it so that many issues related to the conceptualization of loneliness, and hence to approaches to loneliness, could be alleviated by this framework that identifies epistemic loneliness as a particular, yet common and socially relevant instance of loneliness.
