Alongside somatic illnesses, which we have known for centuries, and psychic illnesses, identified more recently, there are others of a higher order, called diseases of the spirit, or diseases of the being, which Noica classifies into six. Three stem from lack: todetitis, which is the need to find the authentic individual; catholitis, which is the lack of the general, typical of the human being; and horetitis, which is the absence of determination. The other three are caused by refusal: acatholia, which is the refusal of the individual; atodecia, which is the refusal of the general, of what is human and individual; and finally, ahorecia, which is the refusal of determinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eTo arrive at these concepts, Noica examines, in \u003cem\u003e*The Six Diseases of the Contemporary Spirit\u003c\/em\u003e *, major works of Western literature and philosophy, transforming this book into a compendium of neuroses, characters, and myths.
