Despite the fundamental importance of the \u003ci\u003eNew Science\u003c\/i\u003e, there has been no philosophical commentary of the text in any language, until now. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by the noted Vico scholar Donald Phillip Verene, this commentary can be read as an introduction to Vico's thought or it can be employed as a guide to the comprehension of specific sections of the \u003ci\u003eNew Science\u003c\/i\u003e. Following the structure of the text scrupulously, Verene offers a clear and direct discussion of the contents of each division of the \u003ci\u003eNew Science\u003c\/i\u003e with close attention to the sources of Vico's thought in Greek philosophy and in Roman jurisprudence. He also highlights the grounding of the \u003ci\u003eNew Science\u003c\/i\u003e in Vico's other works and the opposition of Vico's views to those of the seventeenth-century natural-law theorists. The addition of an extensive glossary of Vico's Italian terminology makes this an ideal companion to Vico's masterpiece, ideal for both beginners and specialists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDonald Phillip Verene is Charles Howard Candler Professor of Metaphysics and Moral Philosophy and Director of the Institute for Vico Studies at Emory University and a fellow of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei.
