He can now be understood and recognized as indispensably key to the perennial future of the humanities."-William Franke, author of The Revelation of Imagination "Finally, the barrier posed by Vico’s formidably difficult baroque prose is overcome. It is philologically faithful, philosophically competent, and eminently readable."-Vittorio Hosle, author of Vico’s New Science of the Intersubjective World In the first chapter, Vittorio Hösle examines Vico’s life, sources, and writings. "This third translation of the main work of Italian philosophy into English presents important advantages with regard to the earlier ones. Vicos New Science of the Intersubjective World offers both an in-depth analysis of all the important ideas of the book and an evaluation of their contribution to our present understanding of the social world. “The footnotes acquaint the Anglophone reader with perhaps the very best of contemporary Vico scholars.”-Nancy Struever, Johns Hopkins University
"This translation is more consistent in its terminology, is more faithful to the textual features of the 1744 text, and provides significantly greater (and clearer) annotation than previous translations."-Charles Sullivan, University of Dallas
