Santayana surveys an age in which Christendom has not vanished but something else is taking its place. He weighs Catholic modernism, the philosophy of Henri Bergson, the early logic and ethics of Bertrand Russell, and the poetic value of Shelley’s revolutionary principles, and closes with his famous lecture on the genteel tradition in American philosophy.
Urbane, sceptical essays that remain among the best introductions to Santayana’s mind. Download the free EPUB.
