Robert C. Solomon is Quincy Lee Centennial Professor of Business and Philosophy and Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University Texas at Austin. He is past President of the International Society for Research on Emotions. He is well known for his courses on "Existentialism" and has done several video and audio "Superstar Teacher" tapes for the Teaching Company, including No Excuses (on existentialism). He is also the author of Inthe Spirit of Hegel, A Short History of Philosophy, Spirituality for the Skeptic, Living with Nietzsche and Not Passion's Slave.

This book should appeal to a great many people: it is of interest to philosophers who are interested in topics outside the narrow bandwidth of technophilosophy, to teachers and students in philosophy in literature courses, to all students of literature, especially of French literature, and of course to the amazingly large group of people who read everything Solomon writes.
