The Philosophy of Giambattista Vico

Benedetto Croce

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "The Philosophy of Giambattista Vico," Benedetto Croce delves into the intricate tapestry of Vico's thought, elucidating how history, culture, and language interweave in the development of human consciousness. Croce employs a nuanced literary style that marries philosophical rigor with historical context, enabling a profound exploration of Vico's rejection of the rationalism of his contemporaries. He presents Vico's concept of "verum ipsum factum," emphasizing that truth is not merely discovered but is also created through the human experience, showcasing Vico's importance within the intellectual currents of the 18th century and his influence on modern philosophical discourse. Benedetto Croce, an eminent Italian philosopher and historian, was deeply influenced by the struggles of his time, including the philosophical debates surrounding idealism and historicism. His background in both the arts and philosophy, combined with a commitment to cultural revival, led him to articulate a compelling vision of Vico's insights into the cyclical nature of history and knowledge. Croce's admiration for Vico, a figure often overshadowed in Enlightenment discourse, reflects his broader aim to validate the role of humanities in understanding societal progress. This scholarly work is essential for those who seek to grasp the foundational ideas that underpin contemporary thought on history and culture. Croce's interpretative lens offers readers an entry point into Vico's ideas, making complex philosophical concepts accessible. Enthusiasts of philosophy and intellectual history alike will find Croce's analysis not only enlightening but instrumental in appreciating the relevance of Vico's ideas in the modern era.

Wu - The Chinese Empress Who...

Jonathan Clements

Empress Wu Zetian (624-705 AD) was the only woman to be the sovereign ruler of imperial China. A teenage concubine of the Tang Emperor Taizong, she seduced his son while the emperor lay dying. Recalled from a nunnery as part of an intricate court power-game, she caused the deaths of two lady rivals, before securing her enthronement as the Emperor Gaozong's consort. She ruled in the name of her husband and two eldest sons, presiding over the pinnacle of the Silk Road, before proclaiming herself the founder of a new dynasty. Worshipped as the Sage Mother of Mankind and reviled as the Treacherous Fox, she was deposed aged 79, after angry courtiers murdered her two young lovers. The subject of countless books, plays, and films, Empress Wu remains a feminist icon and a bugbear of Chinese conservatism. Jonathan Clements weighs the evidence of her life and legacy: so charismatic that she could rise from nothing to the height of medieval power, so hated that her own children left her tombstone blank.

Last Voices of the Irish Revolution

Tom Hurley

The Irish Civil War ended in 1923. Eighty years on, documentary-maker Tom Hurley wondered if there were many civilians and combatants left from across Ireland who had experienced the years 1919 to 1923, their prelude and their aftermath. What memories had they, what were their stories and how did they reflect on those turbulent times?
In early 2003, he recorded the experiences of 18 people, conducting 2 further interviews abroad in 2004. Tom spoke to a cross section (Catholic, Protestant, Unionist and Nationalist) who were in their teens or early twenties during the civil war. The chronological approach he has taken spans 50 years, beginning with the oldest interviewee's birth in 1899 and ending when the Free State became a republic in 1949.
