Description
A pioneering treatise that aroused great controversy when it was first published in 1725, Vico's New Science is acknowledged today to be one of the few works of authentic genius in the history of social theory. It represents the most ambitious attempt before Comte at comprehensive science of human society and the most profound analysis of the class struggle prior to Marx.
About the Author
Thomas Goddard Bergin (1904-1987) was the Sterling Professor of Romance Languages at Yale University. Max Harold Fisch (1901-1995) was an internationally renowned scholar and recognized especially for his work on Charles S. Peirce and Giambattista Vico. Fisch received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1928.
Reviews
This new edition of the famous Bergin and Fisch translation of Vico's Scienza nuova, originally published in 1948 and reissued in a revised edition in 1968, includes a translation of a piece of Vico's work called the Practica.... It is a great advantage to have [the "Practic of the New Science"] reprinted with the text of the New Science as it offers some of Vico's views on the application of his science.... Cornell University Press is to be congratulated for... this new full edition.
