Book Notes - Santayana

On The Philosophy of George Santayana. This is the second edition. It came out the year GS died, 1951.

(quickly re: George Santayana…I am only interested in him in proximity to William James, (similar to interest in Royce or even Henry James(!)) who I am interested in many times more. I don’t like GS or his philosophy , but I’m interested…in general, from what little I’ve read (he wrote 30+ books). But prox. to Wm James plus his weird (too lazy rn to be describe better…) way of writing is enough to get me to grab a book if I see it for cheap or for free… I bought this book because the price was right and because it looked good on the shelf… It’s an era of philosophical writing and especially book design! that I’m really into…)

The book itself is a “…answers his critics” where various heavy hitters write about GS and then he gets a lot of space to respond.
