Es ésta la obra cumbre de George Santayana. El sistema aquí expuesto no es, según su autor, sino reflexión ordinaria bien encauzada, disciplina del corazón, verdadera religión laica. Al extender el escepticismo hasta sus límites razonables, llega Santayana a la existencia del reino de la materia como fundamento irrecusable de la especulación filosófica.
La peripecia vital de George Santayana, contada aquí con una profundidad reflexiva y una capacidad de observación admirables, nos proporciona, a través de su autobiografía, un recorrido perspicaz, sutil, por las impresiones que en el pensador dejaron todos aquellos momentos que más fuertemente marcaron su experiencia. El autor nos presenta esas impresiones intencionadamente ordenadas, hilvanadas y ribeteadas con el hilo conductor de sus reflexiones. Surge, así, el retrato vital del protagonista a través del minucioso mapa geográfico, familiar, social y personal de su peripecia, interpretable además como un elaborado libro de sabiduría al que avala la privilegiada mente filosófica y poética de su autor. En la presente versión castellana de la edición crítica, íntegra y definitiva, que se publicó en inglés en 1986, el lector encontrará, entre otros, interesantes textos sobre arte y arquitectura, geografía e historia, política y sociología, literatura, filosofía y religión; podrá disfrutar, sin sentirse jamás adoctrinado, de las observaciones clarividentes del autor y de su inteligente comprensión de la realidad, que le ayudarán sin duda, como se dice en las líneas finales del libro, a convertir las virtudes y las tristezas pasajeras de la naturaleza en vislumbres de la verdad eterna.
