  Friedrich August Wolf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Friedrich August Wolf (February 15, 1750 - August 8, 1824) was a German philologist and critic.
Wolf, however, pursued his studies in the university library, from which he borrowed with his usual avidity.
Wolf defined philology broadly as "knowledge of human nature as exhibited in antiquity." The matter of such a science, he held, must be sought in the history and education of some highly cultivated nation, to be studied in written remains, works of art, and whatever else bears the stamp of national thought or skill.

Le prime due teorie rimasero quasi sconosciute, mentre quella di Wolf fece scalpore e segnò l’inizio della "questione omerica", iniziando una serie enorme di studi sull’opera di Omero.
Nonostante una delle teorie di Wolf si dimostrò infondata (ricerche archeologiche dimostrarono l'esistenza della scrittura già alcuni secoli prima di Omero), la tesi di Omero simbolo fu ancora sostenuta.

It was none other than Goethe who, in early life a supporter of Wolf’s theories regarding Homer, recanted in the verses: “With subtle wit, you took away our former adoration, the Iliad you may us say, was mere conglomeration.

Friedrich August Wolf has exactly indicated the spot where Greek antiquity dropped the question.

 Giambattista Vico
In Italy, Vico's impact on aesthetic and literary criticism is evident in the writings of Francesco De Sanctis and Benedetto Croce, and in jurisprudence, economics, and political theory, his influence can be traced from Antonio Genovesi (one of Vico's own pupils), Ferdinando Galiani, and Gaetano Filangieri.
In Great Britain, although Vichean themes are intimated in the philosophical writings of the Empiricists and thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment, there is no direct evidence that they knew of his writings.
As a review of recent and current literature demonstrates, an appreciation of Vico's thought has spread far beyond philosophy, and his ideas have been taken up by scholars within a range of contemporary disciplines, including anthropology, cultural theory, education, hermeneutics, history, literary criticism, psychology, and sociology.
