A bold new translation of a masterpiece of early social science that has found enthusiasts among such artists and scholars as James Joyce and Harold Bloom.
Although Vico lived his whole life as an obscure academic in Naples, his New Science is an astonishingly ambitious attempt to provide a comprehensive science of all human society by decoding the history, mythology, and law of the ancient world. It argues that the key to true understanding lies in accepting that the customs and emotional lives of the Greeks and Romans, Egyptians, Jews, and Babylonians were utterly different from our own. In examining these huge themes, Vico offers countless fresh insights into topics ranging from physics to politics, money to monsters, and family structures to the Flood. Deeply influential since the dawn of Romanticism, the New Science even inspired the framework for Joyce's Finnegans Wake . This powerful new translation makes it clear why this work marked a turning-point in humanist thinking as significant as Newton's contemporary revolution in physics.
Translated by David Marsh with an Introduction by Anthony Grafton
"My imagination grows every time I read Vico as it doesn't when I read Freud or Jung."-- James Joyce

評分 評分我國人對維柯的重視還不夠,許多人都不知道他的存在。但看瞭他的《新科學》之後,不得不感慨是一位很偉大的學者,知識淵博,見解獨特,許多思想都具有開創性,許多想法是前無古人。從他的書中可以預見後來人文科學的發展,比如人類學、民俗學、心理學、社會學,後來的馬剋...
評分 評分維柯是第一個對西方危機作齣重要診斷的人;《新科學》是復興實體科學的第一次偉大嘗試。在維柯的新科學意義上,現代政治科學隻是各種“舊”觀念的大海上一個並不那麼重要的小島。 維柯的著作 要想進入維柯(1668-1744)的著作,我們就必須考慮到意大利智識環境的獨特構架。這位...
