MACEDOCOUTO, Graco Silva  e  JUNIOR, Almir Ferreira da Silva. Loneliness: from pathological to ontological. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.1, pp. 7-24. ISSN 1808-4281.

The purpose of this article is to discuss the phenomenon of loneliness as a significant experience in the horizon of our social and affective relationships considering the legitimacy of their pathological significance, as well as the primacy of their ontological resignification. It highlights the ontological character of loneliness from their technical-scientific and biomedical hermeneutical horizon highlighting the limits of this approach regarding existential understanding of loneliness phenomenon. Explains the ontological dimension of loneliness from Heidegger's phenomenology highlighting the foundations of an existential analysis and the reflection of solitude while affective tonality which constitute the human being as being-in- the-world and being-with. Problematizes the failure of pathological loneliness concept to understand it as an existential original experience and that establishes in the horizon of our temporality, from the existential being-with and the anguish affective tone. We emphasize the closeness between anguish and loneliness as existential isolation and the importance of establishing with the anguish and solitude what Heidegger will call meditative thinking for the opening of new meanings that allow the rescue the responsibility of our existential projects, singularity and freedom.

Palavras-chave : loneliness; psychology; existential analysis; Heidegger.
