Vico: Selected Writings (Volume 0)

Vico: Selected Writings (Volume 0) by Vico, Giambattista. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521280143.

Giambattista Vico is now acknowledged to be one of the most important figures in the history of European philosophy and social thought and increasingly attention is being focused on his writings. These, however have been difficult to obtain in English and many have never been translated. A real need therefore exists and to meet this Professor Pompa has here translated and introduced a selection of the central, representative texts, where the most important and seminal of Vicos ideas are developed. The volume will make a major contribution towards the study of Vicos thought and this period in the history of philosophy. It will be invaluable to students of those subjects and of the social sciences generally.
