Abstract
The multiple contexts of solitude and its coherence with the constant of mature life choices are considered in the article. The phenomenon of solitude is presented in light of the embodiment of value determinant. The authors’ understanding of solitude as spiritual handwriting is demonstrated. The polarity of solitude’s representation as an issue of ability or inability to make a choice is considered. The authors’ classification of different contextual types of solitude accompanied by a focus on values as a result of life choice is provided. The mutual influence of maturity and solitude as a potential stimulating source if creativity and self-assertion are actualized. The phenomenon of solitude is universal and inherent in the philosophy of life; solitude as a multi-contextual phenomenon characterizes human beings in the social environment. Nevertheless, having multidimensional, controversial and inexhaustible nature, it can be a creative or devastating factor. The Ukrainian context of solitude is briefly described.
