"This volume comprises a new critical edition and translation of
Giambattista Vico's challenging and provoking early work On the
Most Ancient Wisdom of the Italians. The Latin edition faithfully
reproduces Vico's original 1710 text as first printed; it is
accompanied by Jason Taylor's complete, accurate, and highly
readable English translation." "In an illuminating introduction to
the volume, Robert Miner elucidates Vico's short but difficult
work; at the same time, he allows the reader to assess the
importance of that work, in absolute terms as well as relative to
Vico's other writings and the work of his numerous interlocutors in
the republic of letters." "Taken as a whole, this volume provides
the text and guidance to support a fresh engagement with Vico's
thought, especially his earliest philosophical works. It will also
serve as a valuable resource for students and scholars with
interests in eighteenth-century thought."--BOOK JACKET.

A fresh translation of The New Science, with detailed footnotes
that will help both the scholar and the new reader navigate Vico's
masterpiece The New Science is the major work of Italian
philosopher Giambattista Vico. First published in 1725 and revised
in 1730 and 1744, it calls for a reinterpretation of human
civilization by tracing the stages of historical development shared
by all societies. Almost unknown during his lifetime, the work had
a profound influence on later thinkers, from Montesquieu and Marx
to Joyce and Gadamer. This edition offers a fresh translation and
detailed annotations which enable the reader to track Vico's
multiple allusions to other texts. The introduction situates the
work firmly within a contemporary context and newly establishes
Vico as a thinker of modernity.

The developed world is awash in ubiquitous food and media. Fast
media, like Fast food is a heavily processed product that has
become corporatised, centralised, commoditised and simplified. Like
modern supermarket food, Fast news and media can be said to lack
diversity, local taste and historical context, transparency,
accountability and authenticity. This book briefly outlines a
framework of parallels between Fast food and Fast media in their
related vertical integration, production, distribution and
consumption. Responses to problems identified with Fast, and
successes of Slow movements embracing ethical consumption of our
finite and human resources, are considered in looking at the
potential for value shifts in consumers' treatment of modern news
media towards transforming complacent consumers to responsible
citizens.
