What is the proper place of solitude in human existence? Some
philosophers have claimed that solitude is our truest, most
ultimate metaphysically deepest state of being. Others have
maintained the contrary view, that it is in encounter that we most
truly find ourselves. In Koch's "Solitude", both solitude and
encounter emerge as primary modes of human experience, equally
essential for human completion. This work draws upon a vast corpus
of literary reflections on solitude, especially Lao Tze, Sappho,
Plotinus, Seneca, Augustine, Petrarch, Teresa of Avila, Meister
Eckhart, Montaigne, Goethe, Wordsworth, Shelley, Cowper, Hugo,
Emerson, Thoreau, Dickinson, Whitman, Proust, Lawrence, Rilke,
Byrd, Stevens, Eisley, Tillich, Woolf and Sarton.
