Robert C. Solomon

    14. září 1942 – 2. leden 2007

    Robert C. Solomon se hluboce zabýval kontinentální filozofií, zejména 19. a 20. stoletím. Jeho práce se soustředila na témata jako etika a filozofie emocí, přičemž rozvinul kognitivistickou teorii emocí, která je považuje za racionálně hodnocené a upravitelné. Solomon zkoumal koncept lásky a argumentoval, že romantická láska je kulturní konstrukt spíše než univerzální stav. Jeho přednášky, často o Nietzschem a existencialismu, zdůrazňovaly osobní reflexi a schopnost přijmout celý rozsah lidské existence.
