This book explores the conflicting views on transcendence held by philosophers George Santayana and William James. Author Antonio Rionda examines Santayana's allegiance to classical ideals and his unique philosophical position, which contrasts sharply with James's rejection of these perspectives as outdated. The work delves into the historical and intellectual context of these differing views and highlights Santayana's belief in the enduring relevance of classical philosophy to everyday life. The book is aimed at readers interested in philosophy, intellectual history, and the philosophical debates of the fin de siècle period.
