为什么值得读
- 阐述本能从经验中学习与进步的关系
- 贡献了关于历史重演的深刻名言
哲学家 George Santayana 于 1905 年至 1906 年间分五卷出版了《The Life of Reason》。这套书被认为是 Santayana 道德哲学最完满的阐述，各卷分别为《Reason in Common Sense》、《Reason in Society》、《Reason in Religion》、《Reason in Art》以及《Reason in Science》；本版收录了全部卷册。《The Life of Reason》被许多人视为西方哲学中文字最优美、最富诗意的作品之一，其中包含那句常被引用的名言：“那些记不得过去的人注定要重蹈覆辙。”

……分心；由于缺乏连续性和坚持，它错失了进步。这就是儿童和野蛮人的状态，在其中本能没有从经验中学到任何东西。”——乔治·桑塔亚那，《理性的生活：人类进步的阶段》（共五卷，1905 - 1906）
…distracted; it misses progress by failing in consecutiveness and persistence. This is the condition of children and barbarians, in which instinct has learned nothing from experience.” ~ George Santayana, The Life of Reason: The Phases of Human Progress (Five volumes, 1905 - 1906)

……方向就已为可能的改进设定好了；而当经验未能被留存时，幼态便成了永恒。记不得过去的人注定要重蹈覆辙。”——乔治·桑塔亚那（1863 - 1952）[《理性的生活》（1905-1906）第一卷，常识中的理性] 这与我脑海里盘旋的想法完全不谋而合。我认为，“当……这一部分，正是对编程现状的绝佳解释。

说得完全没错，如果不这么做，每一代哲学家都得重新发明轮子。“记不得过去的人注定要重蹈覆辙。”——乔治·桑塔亚那，《理性的生活》，1905年。但历史不是哲学，因此那个隐含的前提——归结起来就是“历史对哲学来说不是必需的”——是错误的，但它同时也预设了结论，属于乞题……
This is exactly right and doing so would require each subsequent generation of philosophers to reinvent the wheel Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. – George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905. But history is not philosophy, so the implicit premise, which boils down to, "history is not necessary to philosophy," is wrong-headed, but it is also assuming the conclusion, which is question…
