The word "isolate" has been employed in literature to convey a rich spectrum of meanings—from the literal separation of elements to more abstract forms of detachment. In some texts, it captures the act of distinguishing and separating components for analysis or clarity, as Freud isolates clinical factors from the overall mass [1] and economists isolate aspects of society for study [2]. In other instances, authors use the term to reflect a personal or societal state of seclusion; Nietzsche explores both the positive and negative dimensions of self-isolation, suggesting that withdrawing from society can either be a mark of productivity or lead to belittlement [3][4]. The term further appears in discussions on methodology, where isolating variables or phenomena is crucial for understanding complex interactions, as seen in the reflections of Dewey on isolating the self or separate ideas [5][6]. Additionally, isolation is invoked in narrative contexts to emphasize exclusion or containment, whether in the tragic fate of an individual sentenced to hard labor for isolation [7] or the social impossibility of isolating a child's beliefs entirely [8]. Together, these examples illustrate the dynamic and multifaceted use of "isolate" in literature, where its application ranges from rigorous analytical methods to explorations of human nature and societal organization.
