In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Variants to the Text of Reason in Society that Appear in the one-Volume Edition of The Life Of Reason This listing of variants shows the changes made by Santayana and Daniel Cory in preparing the one-volume abridged edition of The Life of Reason, published by Charles Scribner’s Sons in 1953. Although this volume has no relevance to the critical edition of the much earlier five-volume work, the changes and annotations are of interest in following Santayana’s philosophical thought. Readings from the Scribner’s first edition are listed to the left of the lemma bracket following the critical edition page and line numbers; variant readings from the one-volume edition are listed to the right, followed by the page and line numbers from that edition. (See pages 149–52, “Editorial Sigla and Symbols.”) The abridged edition includes parts of each of the eight chapters from the original work. Santayana’s marginal notes are not included in the one-volume edition and, therefore, the “Table of Contents” lists only titles of chapters. The one-volume edition does have a fourteen-page “index”; no index is present in any of the first-edition volumes. Daniel Cory supplied a two-page “Preface” for the abridged edition. 3.1 CHAPTER i AA ] C H A P T E R 1 ALR, 89.1 3.3–5.29 if … mind.
