An apologist of classical antiquity, Vico is best known for his magnum opus, the Scienza Nuova of 1725, often published in English as The New Science, in which he attempted to bring about the convergence of history, from the one side, and the more systematic social sciences, from the other, so that their interpenetration could form a single science of humanity. On June 23, 1668, Italian political philosopher, rhetorician, historian, and jurist Giambattista Vico was born. ![]()
