Oeuvres Choises De Vico

Oeuvres Choisies de Vico presents a selection of the seminal works of Giambattista Vico, an influential Italian philosopher, historian, and rhetorician. This collection, carefully curated, includes Vico's autobiography, providing invaluable insight into his intellectual development and personal life.

The centerpiece of this volume is 'La Science Nouvelle' (New Science), Vico's magnum opus, which revolutionized historical and social thought. It challenges conventional Enlightenment views, positing a cyclical theory of history and emphasizing the importance of mythology, language, and human creativity in shaping societies. Also featured are various shorter works, letters, and essays, offering a comprehensive view of Vico's diverse intellectual pursuits. Edited by Jules Michelet, this collection makes Vico's profound insights accessible to a wider audience, solidifying his place as a foundational figure in the study of culture and society.
