Reseña del libro "The Realm of Essence: Book First of Realms of Being (en Inglés)"
The Realm of Essence is a philosophical book written by George Santayana, which is the first book in the Realms of Being series. It was first published in 1924 and explores the concept of essence and its role in understanding reality. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part discussing the nature of essence, the second part examining the relationship between essence and existence, and the third part exploring the implications of essence for various aspects of human life, including art, religion, and ethics. Santayana argues that essence is a fundamental aspect of reality that cannot be reduced to mere physical properties, and that a proper understanding of essence is essential for a comprehensive understanding of the world. He also critiques various philosophical schools of thought, including idealism and materialism, and offers his own unique perspective on the nature of reality. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal introduction to Santayana's philosophical ideas.This is a new release of the original 1927 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
