"I wrote a book called The Achilles of Rationalist Arguments, premised on the idea that consciousness is inherently reflexive; we are constantly aware of our own thoughts and selves."
"I support the idealist philosophers, beginning with Plato, whose theory of knowledge emphasizes the importance of self-identification and consciousness as integral to understanding loneliness."
"Loneliness, as I see it, emerges from our capacity for self-consciousness, wherein the awareness of the self becomes both a source of isolation and a means for deeper understanding."
"By tracing the development of philosophical thought from Plato through to Kant and beyond, we can see how notions of the soul and consciousness have evolved and informed our understanding of loneliness."
