Oxford Handbook of George Santayana (update)
The editor of the Oxford Handbook of George Santayana is looking for two essays in order to complete the edition of the Oxford Handbook of George Santayana:
- The first must focus on Santayana and the idea of “post-truth.” The aim of the chapter is to explore how Santayana’s ideas of communication and truth may help us understand this recent phenomenon, especially in the field of politics.
- The second must focus on Santayana and Romanticism (German, but not exclusively) and explore the philosopher's attitude to the philosophical principles and ideals of Romantic culture (his relation to Romantic poetry is the object of a different chapter.
Both essays are intended to be not merely descriptive but also interpretive and, if necessary, critical. The volume is already under contract at Oxford University Press.
Please send inquiries (or directly an abstract and a short bio) to ricardo.miguel@uclm.es by May 20, 2023. If accepted, first drafts should be ready by mid-December, 2023.
