Books by Robert C. (Professor of Philosophy Solomon

Perfect for readers eager to acquire a basic familiarity with the history of philosophy but intimidated by the task, A Passion for Wisdom is a lively, accessible, and highly enjoyable tour of the world's great ideas.

A collection of the author's articles on key issues in the writings of major European philosophers and thinkers, including Hegel, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Sartre, and Camus.

In this witty and engaging study of the Phenomenology, Solomon captures the bold and exhilarating spirit of this monumental work. He begins by establishing the political, cultural, and intellectual climate in which Hegel lived and by restating Hegel's arguments in a contemporary context with references to more modern philosophical concerns.
