George Santayana, who is one of the important representers of American Pragmatic Naturalist Philosophical tradition, has a different role with respect to both retaining the main conceptions of this tradition and presenting a different and distinctive metaphysical conception. Santayana defines his philosophy on the basis of naturalism but he falls away from classical materialism of naturalist tradition because he accepts and defines idealist spiritual concepts; such as spirit, essence and substance. On the other hand, he associates his conceptual framework with the view of epiphenomenal materialism and for this reason he is criticized by classical materialist accounts of naturalism. Santayana defines his naturalistic view, that is based on these spiritual concepts, as genuine naturalism and he presents the subject of philosophy as the investigation of natural origins of these spiritual concepts. In this context, the aim of this study is to present the naturalistic conception of Santayana and to evaluate and analyze the place of his his idealist naturalism in philosophy, within the framework of criticisms to his position.
