The Life of Reason
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Life of Reason is a book, published in five volumes from 1905 to 1906, by Spanish-American philosopher George Santayana. It consists of Reason in Common Sense, Reason in Society, Reason in Religion, Reason in Art, and Reason in Science.
The book is considered to be the most complete expression of Santayana's moral philosophy, and is widely considered to be one of the most poetic and well-written works of philosophy in Western history. Santayana's philosophy is based around the materialism of Democritus and the refined ethics of Aristotle, with a special emphasis on the natural development of ideal ends.
