Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás (1863-1952), known as George Santayana, was born in Madrid, Spain, but spent most of his life in the United States and Europe. He was a prominent philosopher, poet, and literary critic. Educated at Harvard, Santayana became an influential figure in American thought, though often critical of its pragmatic tendencies. His philosophy, known as naturalism, sought to explain reality without recourse to supernatural causes. Notable works include "The Sense of Beauty," "The Life of Reason," and "Persons and Places." His lyrical prose and his reflections on culture, religion, and the human condition continue to be studied. He died in Rome, Italy.
