To him, essence is anything that is or has a character-this includes thoughts, imaginings, derivations of logic, and material objects. The Realm of Essence, in Santayana's view, has a type of primacy over the other realms. He defines four realms of being The Realm of Essence, The Realm of Matter, The Realm of Truth, and The Realm of Spirit. Santayana builds on his Skepticism and Animal Faith, which he described as a sort of precursor to "a new system of philosophy", that would be developed fully in the present work. Along with Scepticism and Animal Faith and The Life of Reason, it is his most notable work the first two works concentrate primarily on epistemology and ethics respectively, whereas The Realms of Being is mainly a work in the field of ontology. The Realms of Being (1942) is the last major work by Spanish-American philosopher George Santayana.
