Viac o knihe

Instinct and imagination play a pivotal role in the development of reason from chaos, according to Santayana. In his seminal work, he explores how the natural material bases of human life contribute to the cultivation of ideals. Through a seamless connection between animal impulse, practical intelligence, and ideal harmony, he articulates a comprehensive view of human existence that encompasses reason, society, art, religion, and science. The Life of Reason offers a profound and beautifully articulated vision of a balanced and sane human life.
