Introduction The book ‘The New Science by Vico gives a view of the human nature and what is associated with humans; on the other hand, Carlo Collodi’s analysis of Pinnochio expresses his definition of what is considered to be animal. These two authors clearly express their views concerning the various perceptions on this subject; this paper will clearly outline the definition of these two authors on the animal and human perceptions and the relationship between the opinions that they express. Vico’s definition of what is human In the publication entitled New Science by Giambattista Vico, the definition of the human nature is given in a new light in the perspective of the historical happenings. This story was published in 1744 but the views expressed clearly affect the nature of the human race and reasoning even up to date. Vico draws on the wisdom expressed by the various poets of the ancient times to express the nature of the human beings; he compares the views that have been expressed by the poets as well as the philosophers regarding the human beings and wisdom all in relation to the human nature. There are various explanations on the perceptions of the wisdom and the intellect of the human mind, Vico outlines how the nature of humankind is expressed by one of the greatest philosophers Aristotle; he says that a human mind can only get a clear understanding of a concept or any other form of expression only after the human senses have been able to perceive what is under consideration (Vico, 136).

The genesis of humans is noted from way back to the ancient biblical times of the sons of Noah; he defines how this experience led to the dispersion of the human beings. Vico further outlines how the life in the forests and the subsequent human dispersion led to the trends in human life and how it defines the nature of some of the subsequent races even up to date. The nature of the existence of some of the present races such as the Latin, the Romans and the Aborigines is outlined in this aspect (Vico, 141). The other aspect that is used to express the nature of the human race is the issue of the poetic metaphysics and how this influenced the issue and practice of poetry and the role that it plays in religion. In this aspect it is clear that the position of the author is that religion plays an important role in defining the human race. Carlo Collodi: Pinocchio’s definition of what is Animal In this book, the author gives his perception on animals as well as expressed in the form of an animated marionette that is named and the father who is a woodcarver. This publication was done between the years 1881 and 1883 and although it is classified as children’s literature, it gives a general feeling of the definition of animals. Although this story is animated by giving life to inanimate things, it a
