Interpretations Of Poetry And Religion

Viac o knihe

George Santayana's 1900 treatise explores the intricate relationship between poetry and religion, proposing that poetry becomes religious when it actively engages with life, while religion, in a passive role, resembles mere poetry. This provocative assertion contributes significantly to the early 20th-century discourse on science and religion. The book remains relevant in contemporary discussions about the nature of faith. This edition includes a new biography of Santayana, making it appealing to both enthusiasts of his work and those interested in the science-religion debate.
