This antiquarian volume contains George Santayana's 1900 treatise, Interpretations of Poetry and Religion. It presents his idea that 'poetry is called religion when it intervenes in life - and religion, when it merely supervenes upon life, is seen to be nothing but poetry.' This claim and the ideas that thereby espoused added considerably to the debate concerning science and religion that was prominent at the turn of the century. Santayana's thought continues to have a very real influence on current discussions pertaining to the nature of religion. This text is highly recommended for those with an interest in the relationship between science and religion, and it will be of considerable appeal to fans and collectors of Santayana's seminal work. We are republishing this vintage book now in an affordable, modern edition, complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
