Winner, Morton N. Cohen Award for a Distinguished Edition of Letters given by the Modern Language Association (MLA). This final volume of Santayana’s letters spans the last five years of the philosopher’s life. Despite the increasing infirmities of age and illness, Santayana continued to be remarkably productive during these years, working steadily until September 1952, when he died of stomach cancer, just three months short of his eighty-ninth birthday. Still living in the nursing home run by the "Blue Sisters" of the Little Company of Mary in Rome (now with such prewar luxurie

Winner, Morton N. Cohen Award for a Distinguished Edition of Letters given by the Modern Language Association (MLA). This penultimate volume of Santayana’s letters chronicles Santayana’s life during a difficult time—the war years and the immediate postwar period. The advent of World War II left Santayana isolated in Rome, and the difficulties of wartime travel across borders forced him to abandon plans to move to more agreeable locations in Switzerland or Spain. During these years, Santayana lived in a single room in a nursing home run by the "Blue Sisters" of the Little Company of Ma

During the period covered by this book, George Santayana had settled permanently in Rome. His best-selling novel, The Last Puritan, was published in London in 1935 and in the United States in 1936, where it was chosen as a Book-of-the-Month Club selection. In 1936 Santayana became one of the few philosophers ever to appear on the front cover of Time magazine. His growing influence was evidenced further by two other 1936 publications, Obiter Scripta: Lectures, Essays and Reviews and Philosophy of Santayana: Selections From the Works of George Santayana. Also during this year the first six volum

George Santayana, poet, philosopher, and literary and cultural critic, was one of the key figures in classical American philosophy. His naturalism and his emphasis on creative imagination signaled important intellectual changes in America and across the Atlantic. He was a naturalist before naturalism grew popular; he appreciated multiple perfections before multiculturalism became an issue; he thought of philosophy as literature before it became a theme in American and European scholarly circles; and he managed to naturalize Platonism, update Aristotle, fight off idealisms, and provide a striki

This classic study of Santayana was the first book to appear in The Arguments of the Philosophers series. Growing interest in the work of this important American philosopher has prompted this new edition of the book, complete with a new preface by the author reassessing his own ideas about Santayana. The new edition also includes a useful select bibliography of works published about Santayana since the book’s first appearance.
