The Life of Reason - Unabridged Plus an Overview, Summary, Analysis and Author Biography

George Santayana

0/5 ( ratings)

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” This is perhaps the most memorable quote from the intellectual giant George Santayana, author of The Life of Reason. This work builds upon the edifice of Western Philosophy, incorporating thoughts from Plato to Schopenhauer. Santayana explores the birth of reason in the human mind and tracks its development through history. In five volumes, The Life of Reason considers reason from the perspective of the arts, the sciences, in common sense, in society and in religion. It takes into account the nature of the human organism, and the influence this nature has had upon our thought and perspective. This work is a complete exposition of Santayana’s moral philosophy and has been considered one of the most “poetic and well written works of Western philosophy in history.” A summary precedes the narration of the full text and includes a biography of the author and background information of the work. Also included are an overview, synopsis, and analysis. An examination of the historical context, social criticisms, and the social impact of the work concludes the summary. This work is essential for students of philosophy and for anyone interested in the human mind and the faculty of reason.
