Resumo: Max Fisch in his characterization of Classic American Philosophy identified six leading figures including Georges Santayana. Others have found reasons for excluding Santayana from the tradition. Both sides of the issues seem not to have taken full account of Santayana’s own views of his place among his contemporaries and predecessors. Santayana acknowledged his relations to his American contemporaries, but he resisted assimilation to their philosophical views. His materialism, his reverence for what he called human orthodoxy, his understanding of culture, and his philosophical theory led him to reject what he saw as the moralism, subjectivism, and mysticism in American philosophy. He found the American tradition neglectful of what he took to be the end of philosophic life, namely spiritual freedom. Santayana believed philosophic activity ultimately is unconcerned with (though materially dependent on) accidental conditions such as religion or nationality.

Outros acharam motivos para excluí-lo dessa tradição. Nessa questão, ambos os lados parecem não ter considerado plenamente a própria visão de Santayana de seu espaço entre seus contemporâneos e predecessores. Santayana reconheceu seu relacionamento com os contemporâneos americanos, porém resistiu em assimilar suas visões filosóficas. Seu materialismo, sua reverência ao que denominava ortodoxia humana, sua compreensão da cultura e sua teoria filosófica o levaram a rejeitar o que via como o moralismo, subjetivismo e misticismo na filosofia americana. Ele considerava a tradição americana omissa naquilo que ele interpretava como o propósito da vida filosófica, a liberdade espiritual. Santayana acreditava que a atividade filosófica, embora materialmente dependente de condições acidentais, tais como religião ou nacionalidade, é fundamentalmente indiferente a elas.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2013-01-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/cognitiofilosofia/article/view/13453Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 10 No. 1 (2009); 29-41Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; v. 10 n. 1 (2009); 29-412316-52781518-7187reponame:Cognitio (São Paulo.
