From the nineteenth century onwards Vico's views found a wider audience, and today his influence is widespread in the humanities and social sciences. The New Science is often taught in courses at colleges and universities, both in philosophy and Italian departments and in general humanities courses. Despite the excellent English translations of this enigmatic book and numerous studies in English of Vico, many sections of the work remain challenging to the modern reader. Vico's New Science of the Intersubjective World offers both an in-depth analysis of all the important ideas of the book as well as an evaluation of their contribution to our present understanding of the social world. In the first chapter, Vittorio Hosle examines Vico's life, sources, and writings. The second and third chapters discuss the concerns and problems of the Scienza nuova. The fourth chapter traces the broader history of Vico's reception. Hosle facilitates the understanding of many passages in the work as well as the overarching structure of its claims, which are often dispersed over many sections. Hosle reformulates Vico's vision in such a way that it is not only of historical interest but may inspire ongoing debates about the nature of the humanities and social sciences as well as many other issues on which Vico sheds light, from the relation of poetry and poetics to the development of law. This book will prepare students and scholars for a precise study of the Scienza nuova, equipping them with the necessary categories and context and familiarizing them with the most important problems in the critical debate on Vico's philosophy. "Vico's New Science of the Intersubjective World delivers a comprehensive treatment of Vico, which is neither too detailed and technical nor too superficial. The book gives a clear picture of what Vico wanted to say, where he might have been wrong or become obsolete, and what his true achievements are for which he still deserves praise." --Peter Konig, University of Heidelberg"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Vico, Giambattista, $d 1668-1744. $t Principi di una scienza nuova. 650 0 $a History $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Philosophy. 650 0 $a Social sciences. 700 1 $a Hittinger, Francis R., $e editor. $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $a HoÂsle, Vittorio, 1960- author. $t Vico's New science of the intersubjective world $d Notre Dame, Indiana : University of Notre Dame Press, 2016 $z 9780268100308 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210014337.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170203031356.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A11ADF6E9E711E69A6025A3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
