VICO, GIAMBATTISTA.
On Humanistic Education. (Six Inaugural Orations, 1699-1707).
Ithaca and London: Cornell University Press, 1993. 0801480876. From the Definitive Latin Text, Introduction, and Notes of Gian Galeazzo Visconti. Translated by Giorgio A.Pinton and Arthur W.Shippee, with an introduction by Donald Phillip Verene. "Vico draws liberally on the classical philosophical and legal traditions as he explores the relationship between the Greek dictum "Know thyself" and liberal education. As he sets forth the values and goals of a humanist curriculum, Vico reveals the beginnings of the anti-Cartesian position he will pursue in 'On the Study Methods of Our Time' (1709). Also found in the orations are glimpses of Vico's later views on the theory of interpretation and on the nature of language, imagination, and human creativity, along with many themes that were to be fully developed in his magnum opus, 'The New Science' (1744)". Pp.172, minor spots to closed fore-edges. Paperback. VG.
