message: The paragraph "Quotations" has been reverted because "Quotes go on Wikiquote". That's not how i imagined wikipedia : i prefer to have all informations on 1 author in 1 article. Why not. But then, the reference to wikiquote should be added (better by the one who made the revert) and all the authors' articles should be checked. Chrisdel 01:32, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

message: This is REALLY bad. It's too bad I loath this anti-scientific, reationary philosopher so damned much, or I might fix it. I wonder how the Italian version is, but I don't expect much better.--Francesco Franco aka Lacatosias 15:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A philosopher whose work is mostly concerned with responding to (usually negatively) other philosophers rather than creating and developing new ideas. Most academic philosophers, in other words ;D  Skomorokh  19:28, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Wow!!

message: The infobox has been changed from a philosopher's to a writer's.  Cited by the editor are that the writer's infobox is a better box, has a cleaner layout and there is space for notable works.  I strongly disagree, but rather than to edit battle, I prefer to discuss it.  If no discussion ensues, then I shall once again revert per WP:Preserve.  The philosopher's infobox is much better, can be laid out just as cleanly as the writer's infobox, and the reason the "notable works" is not there is because there is presently an editing trend to decrease the size of infoboxes.  Some wanted to add the "notable works" back in to the philosopher infobox, but consensus was to keep them out of the infobox and to mention the notable works in the article.

message: If Vico "inspired" Russell as claimed, how is it that there is no mention of him whatever in Russell's "History of Western Philosophy"? Perhaps whoever made this assertion would be kind enough to provide some supporting evidence.... Godingo (talk) 15:34, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Russell's History of Western Philosophy is idiosyncratic and not to be taken too seriously. It was more of a vehicle for his personal opinions.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.72.63.45 (talk) 13:26, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

message: The article seems to have been cut off before its conclusion. Perhaps this is an attempt to better relate Vico to Finnegans Wake, but I rather doubt it... CCPotter (talk) 14:30, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  The article ends abruptly mid-sentence 

message: I know that the meaning of the term 'apologist' here is in the sense of arguing in defence of something, but, for goodness sake, how is he defending 'classical antiquity'?  Like, which bit?   In Vico's writings (possibly influenced because he is from Naples, just up the road from Paestum and ancient Elea (Parmenides, Zeno etc and Calabria where Pythagoras had his school) he was focused on Demosthenes, Polybius, Seneca, Plato, Socrates, Virgil, Thucydides, Livy and several others, this wide expanse of historians, poets, philosophers, taxonomisers etc, because he was a philosopher of history and of rhetoric for the most part.   Can someone explain what it means for him to be an apologist of 'classical antiquity'?   Also, and I say this in response to a query above, just because Vico himself doesn't use the term 'philosophy of history' doesn't mean that his work, ideas and method didn't inspire and contribute to that field.  Hugely in fact.

message: Vico's name was added to a sidebar for "Conservatism" in Nov 2016, with no rationale given for the addition. I saw no new reference, and there's nothing in the article identifying him as a Conservative. The edit has been reverted. Tapered (talk) 09:24, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
