Abstract
Robert Solomon identified himself as an existentialist, but he did not, unlike some of the key figures associated with that stance, regard it as a reason not to be keenly interested in scientific approaches to emotions and to human life in general. Existentialism is actually an entirely appropriate philosophy for one that takes human beings as biological entities, in which the invention of language results in conversation, debate, and the consequent creation of new and evolving values.
