George Santayana Knihy
George Santayana byl klíčovou postavou klasické americké filozofie, který propojoval filozofii, poezii a literární kritiku. Jeho naturalismus a důraz na tvůrčí představivost předznamenaly významné intelektuální posuny v Americe i Evropě. Zkoumal více dokonalostí dříve, než se stal tématem multikulturalismus, a vnímal filozofii jako literaturu dávno předtím, než se tato myšlenka rozšířila. Dokázal přirozeně propojit platonismus s aktualizací Aristotela, odmítnout idealismy a citlivě popsat duchovní život bez náboženské víry. Jeho outsiderovský pohled na americký život, ovlivněný hispánským dědictvím, nabídl jedinečné a důležité perspektivy, které se vyrovnají Tocquevilleovým. Kromě filozofie se jeho literární dílo může měřit jen s Emersonovým.
