In 1900, Santayana’s assault on conventional pieties outraged contemporaries like William James. This first work of prose criticism asserts that “poetry is called religion when it intervenes in life, and religion, when it merely supervenes upon life, is seen to be nothing but poetry.” Santayana’s ideas continue to influence debates over science and religion.
