Directions in the philosophy of values

Imagination is the basis on which the "world of the soul" is built, in the opinion of Santayana, and it is a valuable source of my beauty and goodness, and therefore it occupies an important place in the philosophy of values according to Santayana. In his book "Interpretation of Poetry and Religion," Santayana says: "Imagination plays a noble role in human life, for without poetry and religion, the history of humanity would be darker than it is now, and emotional life would be more miserable, and man would not have clearly understood the meanings of the general conscience, the spirit of the family, and the national spirit, which are very useful meanings for the moral system. Imagination is the greatest unifier of humanity, and to unleash imagination means to express the universal self and the shared and influential element in all individuals, and stimulating imagination means producing the deepest and most enduring emotions, and repressing it means suppressing the spirit."
