PRODUCT SUMMARY
(1863-1952) A superlative intellectual, an impressive poet and a compelling speaker, Spain's George Santayana made considerable contributions in literature and philosophy, and he is considered an architect of contemporary, philosophic thought. A distinguished professor at Harvard University, he taught philosophy as a way of life rather than just as an academic subject. Later, he absorbed himself in travel, scholarship and writing, constantly preoccupied with discovering philosophical solutions to life's profound problems. Part of the multivolume Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Video Collection, a compelling set of biographies that introduces students to outstanding Hispanic and Latin American men and women. Available in both English and Spanish.
