Bag om George Santayana, Collection

Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás, known as George Santayana (December 16, 1863 - September 26, 1952), was a philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist. He wrote in English and is generally considered an American man of letters. At the age of forty-eight, Santayana left his position at Harvard and returned to Europe permanently, never to return to the United States. His last will was to be buried in the Spanish Pantheon of the Cimitero Monumentale del Verano in Rome. Santayana is known for famous sayings, such as "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it", and "Only the dead have seen the end of war." Santayana is broadly included among the pragmatists with Harvard University colleagues William James and Josiah Royce. He said that he stood in philosophy "exactly where [he stood] in daily life." In this book: The Sense of Beauty, Being the Outlines of Aesthetic Theory Three Philosophical Poets, Lucretius, Dante, and Goethe Character and Opinion in the United States Winds Of Doctrine, Studies in Contemporary Opinion Some Turns of Thought in Modern Philosophy, Five Essays
