George Santayana
Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás, known as George Santayana (December 16, 1863September 26, 1952), was a philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist. Spanish-born, Santayana was raised and educated in the United States and identified himself as an American, although he always kept a valid Spanish passport.〔George Santayana, "Apologia Pro Mente Sua," in P. A. Schilpp, ''The Philosophy of George Santayana'', (1940), 603.〕 He wrote in English and is generally considered an American man of letters. At the age of forty-eight, Santayana left his position at Harvard and returned to Europe permanently, never to return to the United States. His last wish was to be buried in the Spanish pantheon in Rome.
Santayana is known for famous sayings, such as "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it",〔George Santayana (1905) ''Reason in Common Sense'', p. 284, volume 1 of ''The Life of Reason''〕 and "Only the dead have seen the end of war."〔George Santayana (1922) ''Soliloquies in England and Later Soliloquies'', number 25〕 Santayana, like many philosophers from the late nineteenth century, was a naturalist (that is, he denied the existence of supernatural beings, like gods and ghosts), but he found profound meaning in literary writings and in religious ideas and texts (which he regarded as fundamentally akin to literature). Santayana was a broad ranging cultural critic whose observations spanned many disciplines. He said that he stood in philosophy "exactly where (stood ) in daily life."
