Santayana Today: Seminars
The Santayana Seminar Series is a forum for scholars to present their work on Santayana or to lead focused discussions on an important work by or about Santayana. The Seminar encourages both the deep inquiry into Santayana’s thought and the broad exploration of Santayana’s relation to other thinkers, writers, or artists. Students and scholars from philosophy and other disciplines are invited to participate in the ongoing conversation about Santayana’s writings.
The Seminar meets irregularly and is sponsored by the Institute for American Thought and The Santayana Edition. The Institute and the Edition are located on the campus of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, 902 West New York Street, Education/Social Work Building 0010, Indianapolis, Indiana 46202.
