Abstract
Giambattista Vico’s philosophy offers very interesting and stimulating arguments now that – in the ‘post-modern’ age – we can critically outline and experience the outcomes (and the failures) of modernity.Underrated, and probably also misunderstood, by many of his contemporaries – for his critical approach towards several aspects of the evolving modern thought at the beginning of Enlightment – Vico (1668-1744) developed, through a‘solitary’ although not isolated path, a diverse and original philosophy, deeplyrelated with the humanistic tradition of classical thought.Such a view nowadays appears to be for many aspects alternative to the modernvision, and, for that reason, rich of interesting suggestions for the contemporaryreflection, also in the field of legal philosophy.Pubblicazioni consigliate
