Abstract

Argues that no account of American philosophy should omit the consideration of George Santayana. Calm detachment of Santayana; His combination of naturalism with profound appreciation of idealism or other-worldliness; His devotion to classic forms that enshrine the wisdom and happiness of the past; Aristocratic slant of his social philosophy; Possible reasons for the scantness of recognition given to Santayana.
