Dave Land referred us to Santayana -- I inherited Santayana's `Life of
Reason' from my father who had read it; but I never did.
Dave said
The adage originates with George Santayana, the Spanish-American
poet and philosopher:
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to
repeat it."
-- The Life of Reason, vol. 1, chapter 12, p. 284 (1905)
Also, he said that Willard Arnett is Santayana's biographer!
Small world.
In another message, Dave refers to Hegel ...
Many thanks. I did not know this.
