This essay connects loneliness with health problems and argues that both are comorbid with authoritarian politics. Although an old idea from Plato and Aristotle, this problem takes an acute shape in the contemporary world, as argued by Hegel, Hannah Arendt, and Kate Manne, and has a gendered dimension, as men are lonelier than women. This article also attends, briefly, to empirical material about loneliness in the contemporary world.
本文将孤独与健康问题联系起来，并认为两者都与威权政治并存。尽管这是柏拉图和亚里士多德的一个古老观点，但正如黑格尔、汉娜·阿伦特和凯特·曼内所指出的，这个问题在当代世界呈现出尖锐的形式，并且具有性别维度，因为男性比女性更孤独。本文还简要探讨了当代世界中关于孤独的实证材料。
