Thora Ilin Bayer and Donald Phillip Verene have collected a series of texts that help us to understand the progress of Vico's thinking, culminating in the definitive version of the \u003ci\u003eNew Science\u003c\/i\u003e, which was published in 1744.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBayer and Verene provide useful introductions both to the collection as a whole and to the individual writings. What emerges is a clear picture of the decades-long process through which Vico elaborated his revolutionary theory of history and culture. Of particular interest are the first sketch of the new science from his earlier work, the \u003ci\u003eUniversal Law\u003c\/i\u003e, and Vico's response to the false book notice regarding the first version of his New Science.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe volume also includes additions to the 1744 edition that Vico had written out but that do not appear in the English translations—including his brief chapter on the \"Reprehension of the Metaphysics of Descartes, Spinoza, and Locke\"—and a bibliography of all of Vico's writings that have appeared in English. \u003ci\u003eGiambattista Vico: Keys to the \"New Science\"\u003c\/i\u003e is a unique and vital companion for anyone reading or rereading this landmark of Western intellectual history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Interpreting the \u003ci\u003eNew Science\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part 1: Background of the \u003ci\u003eNew Science\u003c\/i\u003e in the \u003ci\u003eUniversal Law\u003c\/i\u003e (1720–2722)\u003cbr\u003e Synopsis of Universal Law\u003cbr\u003e The True and the Certain: From \u003ci\u003eOn the One Principle and One End of Universal Law\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A New Science Is Essayed: From \u003ci\u003eOn the Constancy of the Jurisprudent\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On Homer and His Two Poems: From the \u003ci\u003eDissertations\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Vico's Address to His Readers from a Lost Manuscript on JurisprudencePart 2: Reception of the \u003ci\u003eFirst New Science\u003c\/i\u003e (1725)\u003cbr\u003e Vico's Reply to the False Book Notice: The \u003ci\u003eVici Vindiciae\u003c\/i\u003ePart 3: Additions to the \u003ci\u003eSecond New Science \u003c\/i\u003e(1730\/1744)\u003cbr\u003e Vico's \"IGNOTA LATEBAT\": On the Impresa and the Dipintura\u003cbr\u003e Vico's Addition to the Tree of the Poetic Sciences and His Use of the Muses\u003cbr\u003e Vico's Reprehension of the Metaphysics of René Descartes, Benedict Spinoza, and John Locke\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52656080290072,"sku":"9780801474729","price":15.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/giambattista-vico-keys-to-the-new-science-translations-commentaries-and-essays-paperback-softback-9780801474729","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
