Santayana at 150: International Interpretations is a collection of essays by seventeen authors celebrating the life and thought of Spanish–American philosopher George Santayana. This book appears on the occasion of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Santayana’s birth. Appropriately, the authors come from both sides of the Atlantic and put forth a range of insights that demonstrate the continuing life and relevance of Santayana’s thinking. The book includes considerations of the major themes of his philosophy—materialism, naturalistic ethics, and aesthetics—and of the influence exerted on Santayana’s work by his life circumstances and geographic surroundings, especially of Rome.

“This rich collection demonstrates the breadth and depth of Santayana’s philosophical reach. His influence spans continents and disciplinary specializations, and the chapters included in this volume display the ongoing significance of Santayana’s original ideas. This book is a fitting tribute to the birth of a man who lives on in the insightful contributions of these writers.”
Jessica Wahman
Giuseppe Patella hits the nail on the head in the introduction when he mentions the task of ‘thinking [Santayana’s heritage] over again’ and letting it ‘resound in our current intellectual concerns.’ The task . . . has been fully achieved and we get a novel, inspiring collection, indispensable for any Santayana scholar willing to keep him/herself up to date. Moreover, the attention given to Santayana’s life and personality as interconnected with his intellectual biography, set in a broad context of intellectual and cultural milieu of the era, constitutes an added value and makes the book of interest for a broader circle of philosophically-oriented readers and scholars of American Studies worldwide.
