Lucifer, or, The Heavenly Truce: A Theological Tragedy by George Santayana is a poetic and philosophical drama that delves into the timeless struggle between divine authority and human freedom. The play reimagines the character of Lucifer, not merely as a rebellious fallen angel, but as a complex figure wrestling with profound existential questions about morality, autonomy, and the nature of justice. Set against the backdrop of a "heavenly truce," the story explores themes of spiritual aspiration, the human condition, and the tension between obedience and defiance. Through allegorical dialogue and rich, poetic prose, Santayana critiques rigid dogmatism while encouraging readers to reflect on deeper theological and metaphysical ideas. The work exemplifies Santayana’s unique blend of literary artistry and philosophical inquiry, offering a contemplative exploration of humanity’s place within the cosmic order.
