He held that everything possesses a natural basis and that everything natural has an ideal development. In this one-volume edition of his early work, The Life of Reason (originally published 1905-6), Santayana argues that rational life is embodied in various ideal forms, including religion, and that religion may be embodied in reason. However, this is not to say that religion is grounded in science; rather, religion is poetic, a rendering of natural events in a dramatic form. Hence, to take so-called religious truths as literal claims is preposterous.Works of George SantayanaPhilosophyPhilosophersUnited StatesElectronic books.Philosophy.Philosophers191Santayana George1863-1952.191013Wokeck Marianne Sophia912555Coleman Martin A907671MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452674503321The life of reason, or, The phases of human progress2460203UNINA
