The New Science of Giambattista Vico: Unabridged Translation of the Third Edition (1744) with the addition of Practic of the New Science by Giambattista Vico
A pioneering treatise that aroused great controversy when it was first published in 1725, Vico's New Science is acknowledged today to be one of the few works of authentic genius in the history of social theory. It represents the most ambitious attempt before Comte at comprehensive science of human society and the most profound analysis of the class struggle prior to Marx.
