The Seventh Solitude
Metaphysical Homelessness in Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, and Nietzsche
By Ralph Harper
In these three predecessors of existentialism, all of whom were profoundly influenced by Stendhal, author Ralph Harper finds evidence of that spiritual isolation which leads ultimately to personal solitude and philosophical nihilism. To these negative modes of being he opposes the alternatives embodied by St. Augustine and Proust—the passion for God and the passion for creation.
About the Author

He is the author of twelve books, including The Seventh Solitude, Human Love, The World of the Thriller, The Existential Experience, and Journey from Paradise, which were published by the Johns Hopkins University Press.
Reviews
"Harper is sensitive and subtle. He knows the material and is a creative thinker. The Seventh Solitude is splendid."—Books Abroad
