Santayana, George. [Life of reason; or, The phases of human progress.] 5v. ea. **$1.25. Scribner.
5–5419.
“This book is so wanting in clearness of thought that I doubt whether it can be of much use to anyone. Throughout the book, Mr. Santayana makes a great many scattered remarks, which are certainly ‘suggestive,’ and perhaps (as he himself declares to be his object) ‘stimulating,’ but what he says seems to be always mixed with a great deal that is definitely erroneous, and always imbedded in a mass that is greatly wanting in clearness.” G. E. Moore.

“These later volumes, though containing much that would be interesting, if Professor Santayana had not already made us familiar with his point of view and characteristic method of treatment, are something of a disappointment. It is not easy to see exactly for what class of readers they are intended. Unfortunately the last volume ‘Reason in science’—the only one of the last three volumes in which the author enters a new field—is perhaps the most disappointing of all.” Ernest Albee.
