The theories of language and society of Giambattista Vico
(1668-1744) are examined in this textual analysis of the full range
of his theoretical writings, with special emphasis on his
little-known early works. Vico's fundamental importance in the
history of European ideas lies in his strong anti-Cartesian,
anti-French and anti-Enlightenment views. In an age in which
intellectuals adopted a rational approach, Vico stressed the
nonrational element in man - in particular, imagination - as well
as social and civil relationships, none of them reducible to the
scientific theories so popular in his time.
