A home these days is not just a refuge, it is something more: a space that displaces and replaces the world, a cocoon that makes breaking out unnecessary. Almost everything can be delivered to our house. Why go out and expose yourself? Like Oblomov, who never managed to get up from the couch to meet life, will we become faded flaccid creatures?

The purpose of this essay is to explore the mentality of abandoning active life, to understand its philosophical roots and historical contours. Never before has the tension between the desire to wander and the taste for solitude been greater. And forced incarceration, the nightmare of recent years (the period/era of the pandemic), seems to have been replaced by voluntary isolation for many. What threatens us is not the tyranny of health, but the tyranny of a sedentary lifestyle: will slippers and a robe become its new attributes?
