Review
'Dr Pompa has reconstructed Vico's arguments with a precision not to be found in Vico himself, and his work leads the reader in a progressive fashion to the fundamental insights upon which Vico's project is founded ... No other work in English attempts to exposit Vico's thought with such clarity and systematic attention.' Philosophy and Rhetoric
'Dr Pompa's analysis of the epistemological and metaphysical foundations of Vico's approach to history will be of great interest to today's student of the methodology of the social sciences.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
