Loneliness and Solitude:
Interdisciplinary approaches to solitary living

While humans are clearly social beings, the concepts of solitude and loneliness hold significant cultural and societal relevance. Loneliness is often examined for its negative impact, yet solitude is frequently revered in philosophy and religion.

Interdisciplinary connections between scientists from behavioural ecoloygy, behavioural sciences, from health sciences, philosophy, literature, and religious studies are needed to communicate research findings from the different fields.
