I have added a good deal, but I make no apology, now that theT whole may fall under American eyes, for preserving the tone and attitude of a detached observer. Not at all on the ground that “ to see ourselves as others see us” would be to see ourselves truly; on the contrary, I agree with Spinoza where he says that other people’s idea of a man is apt to be a better expression of their nature than of his. I accept this prin­ ciple in the present instance, and am willing it should be ap­ plied to the judgments contained in this book, in which the reader may see chiefly expressions of my own feelings and hints of my own opinions. Only an American—and I am not one except by long association1—can speak for the heart of America. I try to understand it, as a family friend may who has a different temperament j but it is only my own mind that I speak for at bottom, or wish to speak for.

    The Letters of George Santayana Book Two, 1910—1920 To Josephine Preston Peabody Marks [1910 or 1911] • Cambridge, Massachusetts (MS: Houghton) COLONIAL CLUB CAMBRIDGE Dear Mrs Marks1 Do you believe in this “Poetry Society”? Poetry = solitude, Society = prose, witness my friend Mr. Reginald Robbins!2 I may still go to the dinner, if it comes during the holidays. In that case, I shall hope to see you there. Yours sincerely GSantayana 1Josephine Preston Peabody (1874–1922) was a poet and dramatist whose plays kept alive the tradition of poetic drama in America. Her play, The Piper, was produced in 1909. She was married to Lionel Simeon Marks, a Harvard mechanical engineering professor. 2Reginald Chauncey Robbins (1871–1955) was a writer who took his A.B. from Harvard in 1892 and then did graduate work there. To William Bayard Cutting Sr. [January 1910] • [Cambridge, Massachusetts] (MS: Unknown) His intellectual life was, without question, the most intense, many-sided and sane that I have ever known in any young man,1 and his talk, when he was in college, brought out whatever corresponding vivacity there was in me in those days, before the routine of teaching had had time to dull it as much as it has now … I always felt I got more from him than I had to give, not only in enthu- siasm—which goes without saying—but also in a sort of multitudinousness and quickness of ideas. [Unsigned] 1William Bayard Cutting Jr. (1878–1910) was a member of the Harvard class of 1900. He served as secretary of the vice consul in the American consulate in Milan (1908–9) and Secretary of the American Legation, Tangier, Morocco (1909).

  • Santayana's Locke
    limbo Núm. 39, 2019, pp. 27-46 issn: 0210-1602 Santayana’s Locke Peter R. Anstey Abstract In 1932 Santayana delivered a tercentennial lecture on the English philoso- pher John Locke. It is the longest sustained discussion of Locke’s philoso- phy in Santayana’s writings and its interest lies not only in what it reveals about the philosophical reception of Locke in the inter-war period, but al- so about Santayana’s own understanding of the history of philosophy and his own philosophical proclivities. Th is article sets out the broader con- text within which the lecture was written and delivered, and provides an analysis of Santayana’s interpretation of Locke’s views on natural philoso- phy and the theory of ideas. Keywords: Atomism, Boyle, John Bull, Empiricism, James Gibson, Ideal- ism, Ideas, Locke, Materialism, Naturalism Resumen Santayana conmemoró el tercer centenario del nacimiento del fi lósofo in- glés John Locke en 1932. Su conferencia constituye la discusión más larga mantenida sobre la fi losofía de Locke que aparece en la obra de Santayana, interesante no solo por lo que revela sobre la recepción fi losófi ca de Locke en el periodo de entreguerras, sino también sobre la historia de la fi losofía del propio Santayana y sobre su talante fi losófi co. El artículo establece el amplio contexto en que fue dada y escrita la conferencia y aporta un aná- lisis de la interpretación por Santayana de las opiniones lockeanas sobre fi losofía natural y sobre la teoría de las ideas.

  • Philosophical Portraiture: George Santayana's “William James”
    limbo Núm. 40, 2020, pp. 43-61 issn: 0210-1602 Philosophical Portraiture: George Santayana’s “William James” Vincent M. Colapietro abstract In his sketch of William James, Arthur O. Lovejoy distinguishes between a portrait of the “man behind the philosophy” and “the man in the philosophy.” While Santayana certainly off ers in “William James” glimpses of the man behind the philosophy, he provides above all insights into the man in the writings. What is as remarkable —indeed, admirable— as anything else in this philosophical portrait is, despite deep temperamental diff erences, translated into sharp philosophical antipathies, Santayana’s portrait captures so much at the very centre of James’s vision. Th at is, “William James” is far more than an oblique self-portrait of the literary artist sketching, at a geographical and chronological distance, a portrait of his former colleague: it is truly a portrait of James, a profoundly insight one. Th e author of this essay on “William James” takes the occasion of writing about Santayana’s portrait as an opportunity also to refl ect upon the diffi cult art, especially when undertaken by a philosophical author of intense convictions, of philosophical portraiture. Key Words: Action; America; Emerson; expression; Lovejoy; philosophy; portraiture; Peirce Simposio sobre la historia de la filosofía de Santayana, ii 43 44 Vincent M. Colapietro resumen Arthur O. Lovejoy distingue, en su bosquejo de William James, entre el retrato del “hombre tras la fi losofía” y el “hombre en la fi losofía”. A la vez que Santayana ciertamente ofrece en su “William James” vislumbres del hombre tras la fi losofía, sobre todo aporta intuiciones del hombre en sus escritos.

The Santayana Edition www.iupui.edu/~santedit/sant/ INTRODUCTION THE SUBJECT OF THIS WORK, ITS METHOD AND ANTECEDENTS Whatever forces may govern human life, if they are to be recognised by man, must betray themselves in human experience. Progress in science or religion, no less than in morals and art, is a dramatic epi- Progress is sode in man’s career, a welcome variation in his habit and relative to an state of mind; although this variation may often regard or ideal which reflection propitiate things external, adjustment to which may be creates. important for his welfare. The importance of these external things, as well as their existence, he can establish only by the function and utility which a recognition of them may have in his life. The entire history of progress is a moral drama, a tale man might unfold in a great autobiog- raphy, could his myriad heads and countless scintillas of consciousness conspire, like the seventy Alexandrian sages, in a single version of the truth committed to each for interpretation. What themes would prevail in such an examination of heart? In what order and with what emphasis would they be recounted? In which of its adventures would the human race, reviewing its whole experience, acknowledge a progress and a gain? To answer these questions, as they may be answered speculatively and provisionally by an individual, is the purpose of the following work. A philosopher could hardly have a higher ambition than to make him- self a mouth-piece for the memory and judgment of his race.

  • 1 on the Critical Edition of the Letters of George Santayana in October
    On the Critical Edition of The Letters of George Santayana In October 1952 began the effort to collect and publish letters written by American philosopher, poet, playwright, novelist, and critic George Santayana. Santayana’s publisher wrote a letter to Daniel Cory, the longtime assistant of Santayana, suggesting he edit a volume of Santayana’s correspondence. Santayana had died the previous month, and Cory was now the executor of Santayana's literary estate. By 1954 Cory had collected around a thousand letters. About one third of those were published the next year in a single volume entitled The Letters of George Santayana (Charles Scribner's Sons, 1955). Fifteen years later, in 1970, Cory contacted Bucknell University English professor and editor of The Complete Poems of George Santayana (Bucknell U. Press, 1979) William G. Holzberger with plans to produce a more complete version of the letters. Holzberger agreed to help Cory locate and edit additional letters, but two years into this project Cory died of a heart attack. Holzberger continued the work, and in 1977 he joined the Santayana Edition, the newly- established project led by Herman J. Saatkamp Jr and dedicated to producing a critical edition of all of Santayana's writings. Holzberger became the Textual Editor, and he and Saatkamp became co-editors of the Letters. The eight books of the Letters became Volume IV of The Works of George Santayana. By the time publication of the Letters began in 2001, over 3000 letters written by Santayana had been located—three times as many as Cory originally had found. Several letters are known to have been lost; for example Santayana himself destroyed his letters to his mother and few letters remain documenting the friendship of Santayana and John Francis Stanley, second earl Russell, which was perhaps the most intense personal relationship in which Santayana ever involved himself.
