George Santayana, spagnolo di nascita (1863) ma americano di adozione, è stato filosofo e scrittore raffinatissimo. Dopo aver insegnato a Harvard, accanto a personalità del calibro di Josiah Royce e William James, abbandona definitivamente gli Stati Uniti e si trasferisce nel vecchio continente, dove muore, a Roma, nel 1952. Noto soprattutto per il romanzo bestseller L’ultimo puritano, è autore di una vastissima opera filosofica in lingua inglese – che rimane perlopiù sconosciuta nel nostro paese –, tra cui ricordiamo i capolavori The Life of Reason (1905-06), The Realms of Being (1927-40) e l’autobiografia Persons and Places (1944-53).
