The New Science
Book • 1744
In 'The New Science', Vico presents a comprehensive and original work that prefigured the Age of Enlightenment.
The book explores the development of civilization through recurring cycles (corsi e ricorsi) of three ages: the divine, the heroic, and the human.
Vico argues that civilization is shaped by human imagination and the common sense (sensus communis) of communities.
He also emphasizes the role of language and metaphor in the development of human societies.
Despite being largely ignored in his lifetime, Vico's work has had a profound influence on thinkers such as Ranke, Marx, and Joyce.
