An introduction by James Seaton situates Santayana in the intellectual and cultural context of his own time. Four additional essays include John Lachs on the ways Santayana's understanding of "the soul of America" help explain the relative peace among nationalities and ethnic groups in the United States; Wilfred M. McClay on Santayana's life of the mind as it relates to dominant trends in American culture; Roger Kimball on Santayana's "most uncommon benefice, common sense"; and James Seaton on Santayana's distinction between "English liberty" and "fierce liberty." All the essays serve to highlight the relevance of Santayana's ideas to current issues in American culture, including education, immigration, and civil rights. 410 0$aRethinking the Western tradition. 606 $aNational characteristics, American 606 $aPhilosophy, American$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization$y1865-1918 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNational characteristics, American. 615 0$aPhilosophy, American 676 $a973 700 $aSantayana$b George$f1863-1952.$0191013 701 $aSeaton$b James$f1944-$01027395 701 $aMcClay$b Wilfred M$0957485 701 $aSantayana$b George$f1863-1952.$0191013 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456093403321 996 $aThe genteel tradition in American philosophy$92442808 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01518nam 2200373Ia 450 001 996396802903316 005 20221108045603.0 035 $a(CKB)4330000000363740 035 $a(EEBO)2240915115 035 $a(UnM)99895753 035 $a(UnM)9928610600971 035 $a(EXLCZ)994330000000363740 100 $a19980922d1689 uh | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 10$aAct approving the address made by the noblemen and gentlemen, to his highness the Prince of Orange$b[electronic resource] 210 $a[London] $cPrinted at Edinburgh.
