Incluye La razón en el sentido común, La razón en la sociedad, La razón en la religión, La razón en el arte y La razón en la ciencia. La obra se considera la expresión más completa de la filosofía moral de Santayana. Por el contrario, su obra magna Realms of Being, desarrolla su metafísica y su epistemología, particularmente en su doctrina de esencias. Santayana fue fuertemente influenciado por el materialismo de Demócrito y la ética de Aristóteles y su énfasis en el desarrollo natural de fines ideales. La vida de la razón se considera una de las obras filosóficas más poéticas y bien escritas de la literatura occidental.​ Particularmente conocido es el aforismo de Santayana "Quienes no pueden recordar su pasado están condenados a repetirlo", de la página 284 de La vida de la razón. En 1951, cerca del final de su vida, Santayana se dedicó a la tarea de producir un resumen en un volumen de La vida de la razón tras una petición de su editor en Scribner's. Contaba con la ayuda de su amigo y estudiante, . Cory escribió en el prefacio, además de eliminar redundancias del libro. Lo explica en el prefacio así: "Se realizó un esfuerzo sostenido para dispersar las nieblas iniciales del idealismo del cuerpo realista de su filosofía y para hacer claro al lector que nuestra idea de un mundo natural nunca puede ser ese mismo mundo."
rdf:langString The Life of Reason: The Phases of Human Progress is a book published in five volumes from 1905 to 1906, by Spanish-born American philosopher George Santayana. It consists of Reason in Common Sense, Reason in Society, Reason in Religion, Reason in Art, and Reason in Science. The work is considered to be the most complete expression of Santayana's moral philosophy; by contrast, his later magnum opus, the four-volume The Realms of Being, more fully develops his metaphysical and epistemological theory, particularly his doctrine of essences. Santayana's philosophy is strongly influenced by the materialism of Democritus and the refined ethics of Aristotle, with a special emphasis on the natural development of ideal ends. The Life of Reason is sometimes considered to be one of the most poetic and well-written works of philosophy in Western history. To supply but a single example, the oft-quoted aphorism of Santayana's, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," may be found on p. 284 of Reason in Common Sense. In 1951, near the end of his life, Santayana engaged himself in the weighty task of producing a one-volume abridgment of The Life of Reason at the urging of his editor at Scribner's, with the assistance of his friend and student, Daniel Cory. As Cory writes in the volume's preface, in addition to excising prolixities and redundancies from the book, "[a] sustained effort was made to dispel those early mists of idealism from the realistic body of his philosophy, and to make clear to the reader that our idea of a natural world can never be that world itself."
