Santayana's argument for the unity of philosophy and poetry. This concise and compelling volume—described by Santayana as a “piece of literary criticism, together with a first broad lesson in the history of philosophy”—introduces Santayana's thought in the rich context of a European poetic tradition that demonstrates his broad conception of philosophy. Rejecting both the Platonic opposition of philosophy and poetry and more recent attempts to reduce philosophy to science, Santayana argues that philosophy and poetry at their best are united in articulating a comprehensive vision of the world that permits honest contemplation of the universe. He considers the ideal visions of three artists: Lucretius's naturalism provides a total perspective on the physical world but renders experience monotonous; Dante's supernaturalism provides a total perspective on experience but subordinates nature to morality; Goethe's romanticism provides a dramatic perspective on nature and experience but lacks totality. Santayana sees each as the best in his own way, though none is best in all ways; and he speculates that the ideal poet would integrate the gifts and insights of all three, resulting in “rational art,” of which philosophical poetry is a prime example. This critical edition, volume VIII of The Works of George Santayana, includes notes, textual commentary, lists of variants and emendations, an index, and other tools useful to Santayana scholars.

What is the best way to discuss the intersection of philosophy, poetry and art? For George Santayana it was to highlight the greatest qualities of each poet and explain how one compliments the other. This is Santayana's approach in Three Philosophical Poets: Lucretius, Dante, and Goethe. "The sole advantage in possessing great works of literature lies in what they can help us to become." So begins Santayana's analysis of the three heroes of the book. Three Philosophical Poets: Lucretius, Dante, and Goethe is a collection of six lectures "with a few additions" read in February, 1910, and they are based on one of Santayana's courses at Columbia University. He begins with an examination of Lucretius and his foundation in naturalism, materialism and in humanism in ethics. A thousand years later Dante arrived, bringing with him awareness of supernaturalism, or God. Still later came Goethe, whose Romanticism expanded on Lucretius and Dante. Santayana's love for the poets is infectious. Rather than painstakingly examining each line and then connecting it to dry philosophical tomes, Santayana quotes the best passages, explaining what makes them great. He seems to be delighted by each poem, almost as if it is a brand new discovery. Santayana's discourse on the various episodes of Faust is essential reading. He relates each one in an entertaining manner, making the reader feel as if he or she is in the midst of a good conversation. By connecting the three poets, Santayana helps readers gain insight into their poems but also into the nature of philosophy itself. Readers will find meaning in Three Philosophical Poets: Lucretius, Dante, and Goethe. This book will encourage readers to revisit the three poets with fresh eyes. It is a vital companion for rereading three great poets of the Western world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Three Philosophical Poets is a biography collection by George Santayana that studies the works of the great poets, Lucretius, Dante, and Goethe and sum up the chief phases of European philosophy, --naturalism, supernaturalism, and romanticism--Ideal relation between philosophy and poetry. Titus Lucretius Carus (15 October 99 BC - c. 55 BC) was a Roman poet and philosopher. His only known work is the philosophical poem De rerum natura, a didactic work about the tenets and philosophy of Epicureanism, and which is usually translated into English as On the Nature of Things. Lucretius has been credited with originating the concept of the three-age system which was formalised from 1834 by C. J. Thomsen. Very little is known about Lucretius's life; the only certain fact is that he was either a friend or client of Gaius Memmius, to whom the poem was addressed and dedicated. De rerum natura was a considerable influence on the Augustan poets, particularly Virgil (in his Aeneid and Georgics, and to a lesser extent on the Eclogues) and Horace.[2] The work virtually disappeared during the Middle Ages, but was rediscovered in 1417 in a monastery in Germany by Poggio Bracciolini and it played an important role both in the development of atomism (Lucretius was an important influence on Pierre Gassendi) and the efforts of various figures of the Enlightenment era to construct a new Christian humanism. Virtually nothing is known about the life of Lucretius, and there is insufficient basis for a confident assertion of the date of Lucretius's birth or death in other sources. Another yet briefer note is found in the Chronicon of Donatus's pupil, Jerome. Writing four centuries after Lucretius's death, he enters under the 171st Olympiad: "Titus Lucretius the poet is born."[5] If Jerome is accurate about Lucretius's age (43) when Lucretius died (discussed below), it can then be concluded he was born in 99 or 98 BC.[6][7] Less specific estimates place the birth of Lucretius in the 90s BC and death in the 50s BC, [8][9] in agreement with the poem's many allusions to the tumultuous state of political affairs in Rome and its civil strife. Lucretius was probably a member of the aristocratic gens Lucretia, and his work shows an intimate knowledge of the luxurious lifestyle in Rome. Lucretius' love of the countryside invites speculation that he inhabited family-owned rural estates, as did many wealthy Roman families, and he certainly was expensively educated with a mastery of Latin, Greek, literature, and philosophy
