  VICO - LoveToKnow Article on VICO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Vico raised the problem to a higher plane, by tracing the origin of law in the human mind and explaining the historical changes of the one by those of the other., Thus he made the original discovery of certain ideas which constitute the modern psychologico-historic method.
Vico held God to be the ruler of the world of nations but ruling, not as the providence of the middle ages by means of continued miracles, but as He rules nature, by means of natural laws.
Vico founded no school, and though during his lifetime and for a while after his death he had many admirers both in Naples and the northern cities, his fame and name were soon obscured, especially as the Kantian system dominated the world of thought.

 Giambattista Vico
Giovanni Battista Vico was born in Naples, Italy, June 23 1688, to a bookseller and daughter of a carriage maker.
Vico satisfies this demand by distinguishing at the outset of The New Science between il vero and il certo, "the true" and "the certain." The former is the object of knowledge (scienzia) since it is universal and eternal, whereas the latter, related as it is to human consciousness (coscienza), is particular and individuated.
Vico observes that in the latter part of the age of men (manifest in the institutions and customs of medieval feudalism) the "barbarism" which marks the first stages of civil society returns as a "civil disease" to corrupt the body politic from within.

 Vico, Giambattista (Giovanni Battista) - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Vico, Giambattista (Giovanni Battista)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Vico postulated that society passes through a cycle of four phases: the divine, or theocratic, when people are governed by their awe of the supernatural; the aristocratic, or ‘heroic’ (Homer, Beowulf); the democratic and individualistic; and chaos, a fall into confusion that startles people back into supernatural reverence.
His belief that the study of language and rituals was a better way of understanding early societies was a departure from the traditional ways of writing history either as biographies or as preordained God's will.

Der italienische Philosoph Giovanni Battista Vico war von 1699 bis 1741 Professor für Rhetorik in Neapel.
Vico setzt sich kritisch mit dem Cartesianismus auseinander, insbesondere mit Descartes' Auffassung, dass die Geschichte von Willkür geprägt sei und deshalb nicht in ihrem Grund erkannt werden könne, während die Natur aufgrund ihrer notwendigen Gesetzmäßigkeiten dem subjektiven Erkenntnisvermögen durchaus zugänglich sei.

Giovanni Battista "Giambattista" Vico, 1668 in Neapel geboren, erlangte seine philosophische Bildung hauptsächlich im Selbststudium, dessen Schwerpunkte neben Plato, die lateinischen Klassiker und die Renaissanceliteratur und -philosophie bildeten.
In seinen Universitätsreden wie in seinen zumeist kurzen, essayistischen Schriften kritisierte Vico die aufklärerische Vernunftphilosophie und den kartesischen Rationalismus, deren einseitiger Betonung des reflektierenden Verstandes er die sinnliche Erkenntnis zur Seite stellt.
Erinnern sollen wir uns an den "philosophischen Einzelgänger Giambattista Vico" (1668-1744) und vor allem an sein "Lebenswerk Scienza Nuova", das erst 1911 von seinem italienischen Kollegen Benedetto Croce entdeckt wurde.

The major writer was Pietro Metastasio (1698-1792), author of a number of melodramas in which the main characteristic is a dream-like idyllism, expressed in a highly musical language.
The cultural revival of the early 18th century also caused an increase of interest in philosophical and historical research where the most important figure was Giovanni Battista Vico (1668-1744).
Vico rejected the prevalent Cartesian rationalism and scientific interest in favour of an investigation of mankind, the progress of human history and psychological development.
