" FAITH" - O World. Thou choosest not the better part ! It is not wisdom to be only wise, And on the inward vision close the eyes. But it is wisdom to believe the heart. Colombus found a world , and had no chart, Save one that faith deciphered in the skies, To trust the soul s invisible surmise, Was all his science and his only art, -Our knowdge is a torch of smoky pine, That lights the pathway but one step ahead, Across a void of mystery and dread. -Bid them, the tender light of faith to shine, By which alone the mortal heart is led, Unto the thinking of the thought divine.

This is an audio clip from a great book entitled "The Story of Philosophy: The Lives and Opinions of the Great Philosophers of the Western World" by Will Durant, narrated by Grover Gardner. Since theres been a very interesting discussion going on recently on meaning in life started by Veritas48s video Why I Am Not An Atheist, I thought many would find this relevant. It presents the views of American philosopher and atheist George Santayana, with regards to meaning in life. Bertrand Russell was influenced by him, and I think you can recognize the roots of Russells views on this subject, which ProfMTH discussed in his recent video response to Veritas48, Unyielding despair, you say? Photos from Life: www.life.com I highly recommend this book, you can get it here: www.amazon.com Info on George Santayana: en.wikipedia.org plato.stanford.edu Info on Will Durant: www.willdurant.com en.wikipedia.org Veritas48s initial video: www.youtube.com ProfMTHs response: www.youtube.com

A tribute to George Santayana and his fantastic poem, "In Memoriam." Although this video is slightly humorous, I have the utmost respect for George Santayana.
