That was absolutely beautiful. I first discovered Santayana's work when I was in high school and have loved him dearly ever since. It warms my heart to see such a wonderful man finally get a decent video explaining some of his work on KZfaq. I hope it will inspire even a few more people to find their way to one of his books, essays, or poems. Thanks for the video!

well done, great Santayana, exquisite form for the profuoundest thougths. Good short introduction.

great commantary to one of the most difficult philosopher of every age

This video reminds me of my brief and shallow introduction to Santayana over 50 years ago. I recall "The Last Puritan" and could not adapt its theme to Santayana's Animal Faith, which I enjoyed; yet hardly comprehended. I knew I was in the unique territory while reading about the "Here and Now" in the context of knowledge and symbolism, memory, nature, and intuition. Thanks for the video. I will watch others now. It's Nov. 3, 2021; we're losing our liberal democracy to rural statehouses as they gerrymander and suppress voting. Superstition (QAnon for one) permeates a large percentage of the American population. Carbon dioxide density will scream above 420 ppm, and nation-states are powerless to control it. I'm reading "They Knew," a documentation of the fossil fuel and US Government's role in what is coming to our planet, a heavier tragedy in Santayana's terms, for sure.

Great channel. Please continue!

He sounds very interesting, i’ll try to grab one of his books soon. Thanks for the video, well produced!

Great video, very informative. I didn't know about him till now🖤

Beautifully done video. Subscribed.

I read “The Life Of Reason” a few years ago and just received “The Realm Of Essence” in the mail the other day. Santayana understood how to integrate matter and spirit and put each in place. There’s a rooted focus about him. We don’t see enough of this now because different cultures have grown far too tribal. Conservatives are very conservative now to counter a fractured commons and the liberals aren’t all that liberal minded. There are notable exceptions, of course. Santayana had a great voice though.

Thanks. Nice content

Thank you for the information. In a class I am attending, we are studying a book of his, Masks. This was well done. Again, thank you.

Ah He sounds like Me in high school. High praise trust Me. Most modern philosophers sound like me in middle school

Reading Winds of Doctrine w/ Platonism and the Spiritual Life, currently. 1st time reading Santayana, I had procrastinated too long.

ok I'm here because love death&robot s3

Amazing. Coming from LoveDeathRobotsS3 .. However I had doubt. What did Santayana think about money?

Make a video about Taoism by Lao Tzu. It has really great meaning about letting yourself go flow on the river of our life and not grabbing any branches or rocks to run away from it.

Is there a philosopher for whom absolute responsibility what is the only workable form of governance? I don’t mean this in regard to individualism I’m well aware there are absolutist individualist philosophers I think that individualism would be a natural consequence of absolute self-responsibility, I also don’t mean this in some kind of purist or extremist sense. I’m wondering if there is a philosopher out there with a similar outlook and what their work might look like?

If you look into the philosophy carefully, he is where modern Simulationism starts.
