Giambattista Vico,  (b. June 23, 1668 -d. Jan. 23, 1744), Italian philosopher of cultural history and law, who is recognized today as a forerunner of cultural anthropology, or ethnology. He attempted, especially in his major work, the Scienza nuova (1725; "New Science"), to bring about the convergence of history, from the one side, and the more systematic social sciences, from the other, so that their interpenetration could form a single science of humanity. (from the Brittanica)

Average Customer Review: 5 out of 5 stars  --  Budd says: This is a very unusual book. It is an unorthodox view of history that became the source of inspiration to a diverse group of scholars such as Karl Marx, James Joyce and Marshall McLuhan.

The New Map of the World : The Poetic Philosophy of Giambattista Vico
Giuseppe Mazzotta / Hardcover / Published 1999 ---- D. Kelly writes:  For today's readers, the great Italian philosopher of history Giambattista Vico (1668-1744) can be startlingly relevant to the social and educational divisiveness we confront at century's end: here Giuseppe Mazzotta, one of the leading Italianists in the United States, shows how much Vico, properly read, can bring to an understanding of contemporary social problems.
