Description

Explore the profound insights of George Santayana, one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. While often viewed as a meditative thinker focused on the realm of spirit, Santayana was also a sharp analyst of the world around him. This work provides a deep look into his ability to critique contemporary societies with precision. Character and Opinion in the United States serves as a comprehensive critique of American thought and civilization. It moves beyond stereotypes of the detached philosopher to reveal a writer deeply engaged with the social structures of his time. This book is an essential read for those studying sociology, anthropology, or the history of American ideas. By examining the relationship between individual character and public opinion, Santayana offers a unique perspective on the development of American culture. This Routledge publication is a valuable addition to any collection focused on social sciences or philosophical studies of the United States.

Key Features

A comprehensive critique of American thought and civilization written by philosopher George Santayana.

Explore the hidden history of the English Channel with this detailed study on German U-boat wrecks. Over three decades of hydrographical marine surveys have uncovered significant sites from both World War I and World War II. This work by nautical archaeologist and historian Innes McCartney provides a deep look at how physical evidence on the ocean floor compares to established historical records. Through systemic dives and careful recording, McCartney identifies a major gap in our understanding of naval warfare. His research reveals that the actual distribution and number of wrecks do not match previously published histories. In fact, the study finds that approximately 41% of U-boat war losses in the Channel during World War I were previously unaccounted for in historical literature. This book is an essential resource for those interested in military history, maritime archaeology, and the factual reality of submarine warfare in the English Channel.

Offers a unique perspective that challenges the stereotype of the philosopher removed from the world.

Ideal for readers interested in anthropology, sociology, and the social sciences.

Published by Routledge, ensuring a high standard of academic and philosophical content.
