In 1900, Santayana’s assault on conventional pieties outraged contemporaries like William James. This first work of prose criticism asserts that “poetry is called religion when it intervenes in life, and religion, when it merely supervenes upon life, is seen to be nothing but poetry.” Santayana’s ideas continue to influence debates over science and religion.
Sobre el autor
George Santayana (1863-1952) was a Spanish-born American philosopher, poet, and critic, whose aphorisms—such as ‘Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” became famous.
