Description: Considered the most original thinker in the Italian philosophical tradition, Giambattista Vico has been the object of much scholarly attention but little consensus. In this interpretation, Marshall examines the entirety of Vico's œuvre and situates him in the political context of early modern Naples.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 279-294) and index.
