About this title

Review:

"This new edition of the famous Bergin and Fisch translation of Vico's Scienza nuova, originally published in 1948 and reissued in a revised edition in 1968, includes a translation of a piece of Vico s work called the Practica . . . . It is a great advantage to have [the Practic of the New Science"] reprinted with the text of the New Science as it offers some of Vico s views on the application of his science. . . . Cornell University Press is to be congratulated for . . . this new full edition. Review of Metaphysics"

About the Author:

Although Vico (1668-1744) lived his whole life as an obscure academic in Naples, his New Science is an astonishingly ambitious attempt to decode the history, mythology and law of the ancient world.
