Bücher von Robert C. Solomon

In this enduring text, renowned philosopher Robert C. Solomon provides students with a detailed introduction to modern existentialism. He reveals how this philosophy not only connects with, but also derives from, the thought of traditional philosophers through the works of Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty.

The story of our lives is the story of our passions. We fall in love, we are gripped by scientific curiosity and religious fervor, we fear death and grieve for others, we humble ourselves in envy, jealousy, and resentment. In this remarkable book, Robert Solomon shares his fascination with the emotions and illuminates our passions in an exciting new way.

Love - our hearts yearn for it, we fall into it, we'll do almost anything to attain and keep it. This book discusses relationship between love and romance, caring, concern, compassion, thoughtfulness, sex, and the many other components whose power can give strength to the weakest among us, or turn powerhouses of strength into emotional mush.
