For todays readers, the great Italian philosopher of history Giambattista Vico (1668-1744) can be startlingly relevant to the social and educational divisiveness we confront at centurys end: here Giuseppe Mazzotta, one of the leading Italianists in the United States, shows how much Vico, properly read, can bring to an understanding of contemporary social problems. To explore Vicos body of thought in all its monumental complexity, Mazzotta highlights the place of poetry, or writerliness, in Vicos educational project, which links literature, history, religion, philosophy, and politics. The New Map of the World is the first book since Benedetto Croces The Philosophy of G. B. Vico (1911) to interpret the immense range of Vicos creativity.Beginning with Vicos autobiography, Mazzotta explains that Vicos heroic attempt to unite the arts and sciences was meant to offer a desperately needed political unity to modern society. In contrast to past thematic studies of Vico that focus on a single one of his ideas, The New Map of the World explores the vital interaction of the issues that fascinated him: his educational and political project, his sense of the necessity for a new way of conceiving authority, and his belief in the power of poetry. Mazzotta ends by examining Vicos awareness of the tragic limits of politics itself.Originally published in 1999.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
