About this book

Five essays by George Santayana, published in 1933 under the auspices of the Royal Society of Literature, range across British and modern thought. The first, on John Locke, was a paper read for the tercentenary of his birth. Others look back on fifty years of British idealism, prompted by the republication of Bradley's Ethical Studies, comment on relativity and the new physics, develop a suggestion from Freud's Beyond the Pleasure Principle, and review Julien Benda's book on God and the world.
