Giambattista Vico (b.1668)

In the quietude of our thoughts, we explore the timeless insight of Giambattista Vico’s Scienza Nuova, where history whispers of civilizations rising, declining, and renewing in an eternal, cyclical dance. Vico weaves tales of corsi and ricorsi, offering an understanding that societal progresses and regresses are as rhythmic and natural as the breathing of the earth itself. Through Vicos eyes, we perceive history not as a linear tale, but as an intricate fusion of myths, traditions, and laws, bound together by the threads of human creativity and cultural intuition. As night deepens, let us drift into the profound realms where history and philosophy blend, uncovering the serene rhythms of human nature and societal flow.This episode is hosted by Abigail Johnson.
