- Abstract:
- Giambattista Vico’s answer to the constraints of extreme enlightened rationalism lies in the epistemological method of “explication,” or "spiegazione," as he calls it in the New Science. Explication connects “inventively” the different logoi of human eras enabling us to understand the past comprehensively, but it also extends a bridge between theory and praxis, idea and language, and human time and ideal eternal history.
