Robert C. Solomon profundizó en la filosofía continental, especialmente de los siglos XIX y XX. Su trabajo se centró en temas como la ética y la filosofía de las emociones, desarrollando una teoría cognitivista de las emociones que las considera evaluables y revisables racionalmente.

Sus conferencias, a menudo sobre Nietzsche y el existencialismo, enfatizaron la reflexión personal y la aceptación del espectro completo de la vida.
