Giorgio Vico
Giorgio Vico (1668-1744) was an influential Italian philosopher, historian, and jurist, best known for his work in the fields of philosophy of history and sociology. He proposed that history follows a cyclical pattern and that human civilization progresses through distinct stages, which he illustrated in his seminal work 'Scienza Nuova' (New Science). Vico's ideas emphasize the importance of cultural context and the role of language and myth in shaping human experience, asserting that understanding history is essential to grasping human nature. His thoughts laid the groundwork for later developments in social sciences and influenced several prominent thinkers, including Karl Marx and Benedetto Croce.
