Von der hinteren Coverseite

"Vico's New Science of the Intersubjective World delivers a comprehensive treatment of Vico, which is neither too detailed and technical nor too superficial. The book gives a clear picture of what Vico wanted to say, where he might have been wrong or become obsolete, and what his true achievements are for which he still deserves praise." —Peter König, University of Heidelberg

"This volume makes available in translation a revised version of Professor Hösle's introduction to the German edition of Vico's masterpiece. Readers will find here a guide both historical and critical to Vico's central ideas as well as an original approach to the problem of intersubjectivity. It is a most welcome and learned contribution to Vico interpretation." —Donald Phillip Verene, director, Institute for Vico Studies, Emory University

"For Vico, philosophy, social science, and the history of human culture are inseparable. All commentators on Vico agree that he anticipated with astounding originality key themes in nineteenth- and twentieth-century historical thought and social studies. But possibly no other commentator has shown the depth, complexity, and relevance of Vico's ideas for modern Western thought since the Enlightenment with such insight, incisiveness, and lucidity as Vittorio Hösle." —Jonathan Israel, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton
