Vico (1668-1744) is often regarded as the beleaguered, neglected genius of pre-Enlightenment Naples. During the last 25 years, Vico’s ideas about history, language, anti-Cartesian epistemology, and rhetoric have begun to receive the recognition their admirers have long claimed they deserve. A great virtue of this book is its fusion of Croce’s unique brand of idealism and aesthetic philosophy with Vico’s epistemological, ethical, and historical theories.
