Scepticism and Animal Faith

Scepticism and Animal Faith (1923) is a later work by Spanish-born American philosopher George Santayana. He intended it to be “merely the introduction to a new system of philosophy,” a work that would later be called The Realms of Being, which constitutes the bulk of his philosophy, along with The Life of Reason. Scepticism is Santayana’s major treatise on epistemology; after its publication, he wrote no more on the topic. His preface begins humbly, with Santayana saying.
