Understand the Importance of Your Emotions
According to distinguished philosopher and award-winning
Professor Robert C. Solomon, emotions are “the key to the
meaning of life.” In Passions: Philosophy and the Intelligence of Emotions, join him on a tour of his more than 30-year
intellectual struggle to understand these complex phenomena.
These 24 fascinating lectures unfold as a rich dialogue with
famed philosophers including Plato, Descartes, Nietzsche, and
Sartre. By probing the ideas of these thinkers—as well as presenting his own intriguing views—Professor Solomon leads
you to a startling conclusion: Emotions have intelligence and
provide personal strategies that are vital to your everyday life.
