About the Author:
George Santayana (1863-1952) was a Spanish philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist. A lifelong Spanish citizen, Santayana was raised and educated in the United States, wrote in English and is generally considered in the United States an American man of letters. Santayana is perhaps best known as an aphorist, most famously for his oft-misquoted and misattributed remark "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Similarly, a line of Santayana's, "Only the dead have seen the end of war," is often falsely attributed to Plato.
From the Back Cover:
Published in 1896, The Sense Of Beauty secured Santayana's reputation as a philosopher. Based on a well-known course on the theory and history of aesthetics that Santayana gave at Harvard College from 1892 to 1895, the book represented a major turning point in aesthetic theory. It outsold all of his books until the publication of his one novel, The Last Puritan, and even today it is one of the most widely read volumes in all of Santayana's vast philosophical work.
