In an era marked by profound philosophical inquiry, George Santayana's "Interpretations of Poetry and Religion" delves into the intricate relationship between poetic expression and religious belief. This thought-provoking work posits that both realms serve as vessels for ideals rather than mere reflections of empirical reality. Santayana explores the ways in which language shapes our understanding of spirituality and art, emphasizing the significance of metaphor and symbolism. Ideal for students and scholars of philosophy and literature, this text invites readers to reconsider the role of poetry in articulating the human experience. Engage with Santayana's insights as he challenges conventional perceptions, offering a rich tapestry of thought that resonates through time.
