Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"Naddeo... is to be applauded for highlighting neglected ideas in the supposedly minor works by Vico that have been ignored by scholars for centuries. Naddeo gives us a different Vico, sharper and more deeply enmeshed in his own culture. This process of transformation is disturbing, challenging and ultimately rewarding for those who know Vico well." -- Cecilia Miller * Times Literary Supplement * "Naddeo's work is a welcome corrective to the view of Vico as a lone thinker completely out of his own time.... It gives us a much needed perspective on a fundamental aspect of Vico's thought leading up to the New Science, the one work for which Vico claimed he wished to be remembered, [and] an understanding of the social and political contexts of Vico's philosophy." -- Thora Ilin Bayer * Journal of the History of Philosophy * Read more...
