She shows how loneliness is an intellectual experience by recovering the ancient Stoic Epictetus’s analysis of solitude. Plato’s Republic shows loneliness to be a kind of injustice in the city as well as the psyche. Walter Benjamin recommends the flâneur, taken from Baudelaire and Poe, as a model for living justly in modernity. But in free and traditionless America, where loneliness arises from creative destruction, being a baseball fan brings just balance to life and shows that the opposite of loneliness is happiness.
