The division of Robert C. Solomon’s intellectual trajectory into Phases I–IV, as well as the interpretive emphasis placed on the themes and developments within each phase, reflects my own scholarly perspective (Eunhong Lee). These categorizations are not intended as definitive periodizations, but as a heuristic framework for situating and understanding Solomon’s work in relation to my research.
