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

维柯是第一个对西方危机作出重要诊断的人；《新科学》是复兴实体科学的第一次伟大尝试。在维柯的新科学意义上，现代政治科学只是各种“旧”观念的大海上一个并不那么重要的小岛。 维柯的著作 要想进入维柯（1668-1744）的著作，我们就必须考虑到意大利智识环境的独特构架。这位...
