Epistemic loneliness is the fundamental and unsolvable paradox between the desire of man's consciousness to have meaning met with the universe seen as existing without God. Man's consciousness can be thought of as a hole in Being, or nothingness. Just as nature abhors a vacuum , consciousness abhors its own vacuous vortex and is constrained to seek in futility the plentitude of Being in order to fill up the lack, or non-being, that it is. One attempts to unite the emptiness and nothing that comprise his consciousness (Being-for-itself) with the fullness of Being, as objectively instantiated by the non-conscious Being-in-itself. However, according to some philosophers, this unity is impossible, and thus humans are nothing but a futile frustration to be something they cannot.
