Santayanas argument for the unity of philosophy and poetryThis concise and compelling volumedescribed by Santayana as a piece of literary criticism together with a first broad lesson in the history of philosophyintroduces Santayanas thought in the rich context of a European poetic tradition that demonstrates his broad conception of philosophy Rejecting both the Platonic opposition of philosophy and poetry and more recent attempts to reduce philosophy to science Santayana argues that philosophy and poetry at their best are united in articulating a comprehensive vision of the world that permits honest contemplation of the universe He considers the ideal visions of three artists Lucretiuss naturalism provides a total perspective on the physical world but renders experience monotonous Dantes supernaturalism provides a total perspective on experience but subordinates nature to morality Goethes romanticism provides a dramatic perspective on nature and experience but lacks totality Santayana sees each as the best in his own way though none is best in all ways and he speculates that the ideal poet would integrate the gifts and insights of all three resulting in rational art of which philosophical poetry is a prime exampleThis critical edition volume VIII of The Works of George Santayana includes notes textual commentary lists of variants and emendations an index and other tools useful to Santayana scholars
