This challenges the traditional view that philosophy can lay claim to an historically independent viewpoint, thus bringing into question the legitimacy of the claims of universal prescriptive political theories as against the de facto political beliefs of particular historical societies. This is the first of Vico's later major books in which he wrote in Italian in order not merely to expound but to demonstrate in practice, his conception of the philosophical importance of etymology. This 2002 Cambridge Texts edition is the first complete English translation of the 1725 text. Accompanied by a glossary, bibliography, chronology of Vico's life and expository introduction, it makes this important work accessible to students for the first time. 410 0$aCambridge texts in the history of political thought. 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aHistory$xPhilosophy 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aHistory$xPhilosophy. 676 $a195 700 $aVico$b Giambattista$f1668-1744,$0151876 702 $aPompa$b Leon 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450387803321 996 $aThe first new science$92491957 997 $aUNINA
