The Realm Of Essence

""The Realm of Essence"" is the first book in the ""Realms of Being"" series by George Santayana. In this philosophical work, Santayana explores the concept of essence and its relationship to reality. He argues that essence is not merely a mental construct, but is instead a fundamental aspect of the world around us. Through a series of essays, Santayana delves into topics such as the nature of truth, the role of imagination in perception, and the relationship between essence and existence. He draws on a wide range of philosophical traditions, including ancient Greek philosophy, medieval scholasticism, and modern empiricism, to develop his ideas. ""The Realm of Essence"" is a thought-provoking and challenging work that will appeal to anyone interested in the nature of reality and the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
