Political Loneliness: Modern Liberal Subjects in Hiding examines
the political significance of the experience of loneliness. The
book conceives of loneliness as a symptom of the political
alienation of modern life. Its central claim is that neoliberal
subjectivity has rendered us lonely. That is, that the political
structures we have inherited from the liberal tradition-such as the
anonymity of the vote, or the emphasis on representation rather
than deliberation-have left us hidden from one another, unable to
appear as members of a common world. In view of this, the author
suggests that it is precisely this experience of loneliness that
makes modern subjects vulnerable to totalitarian domination and the
delusional fellowship that drives it. This work thus provides a
frame for interpreting such phenomena as the rise of
totalitarianism at the beginning of the twentieth century. The book
makes an important contribution to the fields of liberal political
theory, current continental philosophy, and critical theory,
centering on debates within these fields that are oriented by
issues in politics, ethics, and community.
