Description
Summary:Robert C. Solomon saw spirituality and emotion as interpenetrating themes. I will summarize his views on spirituality and then introduce the articles in the special issue in his honor.

Spirituality is an on-going adventure according to Bob, and it recommends itself in the way that all adventures do. It is exciting and fun, a matter of an overflowing passionate life.
