Three Philosophical Poets: Lucretius, Dante, and Goethe (English Version) - Odyssee

Three Philosophical Poets: Lucretius, Dante, and Goethe is George Santayana’s comparative study of three major literary figures whose poetic works are deeply infused with philosophical thought. In this work, Santayana explores how each poet represents a distinct worldview: Lucretius exemplifies a materialist and Epicurean vision of the universe governed by natural law; Dante embodies a medieval, Christian-Platonic synthesis of divine order and human purpose; and Goethe presents a modern, dynamic outlook centered on individual development and harmony with nature.

Santayana approaches these poets not merely as literary artists but as thinkers who articulate profound metaphysical and ethical systems through poetic form. By analyzing their works, Santayana draws attention to how poetry can serve as a vessel for philosophy, shaping the moral and spiritual imagination of cultures. The book is both an aesthetic appreciation and a philosophical reflection, making it a unique contribution to literary criticism and intellectual history.
