Beskrivning

Professor Pompa's study of Vico has done a great deal to stimulate and inform the growing interest in the English-speaking world in this remarkable figure. It remains the only work devoted almost exclusively to an interpretation of the New Science and offers a comprehensive guide to the main theoretical problems to which the text gives rise. For this second edition Professor Pompa has responded to the reactions of reviewers and critics and added a new chapter which analyses Vico's conception of the principles which govern the development of law.

'Dr Pompa has reconstructed Vico's arguments with a precision not to be found in Vico himself, and his work leads the reader in a progressive fashion to the fundamental insights upon which Vico's project is founded … No other work in English attempts to exposit Vico's thought with such clarity and systematic attention.' Philosophy and Rhetoric
