{"product_id":"on-humanistic-education-giambattista-vico-9780801480874","title":"On Humanistic Education: Six Inaugural Orations, 1699 1707","description":"\u003cp\u003eVico's earliest extant scholarly works, the six first statement of ideas that Vico would continue to refine throughout his life. Delivered between 1699 and 1707 to usher in the new academic year at the University of Naples, the orations are brought together here for the first time in English in an authoritative translation based on Gian Galeazzo Visconti's 1982 Latin\/Italian edition. In the lectures, Vico draws liberally on the classical philosophical and legal traditions as he explores the relationship between the Greek dictum \"Know thyself' and liberal education. As he sets forth the values and goals of a humanist curriculum, Vico reveals the beginnings of the anti-Cartesian position he will pursue in \u003ci\u003eOn the Study Methods of Our Time\u003c\/i\u003e ( 1709). Also found in the orations are glimpses ofVico's later views on the theory of interpretation and on the nature of language, imagination, and human creativity, along with many themes that were to be fully developed in his magnum opus, \u003ci\u003eThe New Science\u003c\/i\u003e (1744). \u003ci\u003eOn Humanistic Education\u003c\/i\u003e will be welcomed by Vichians and their students, intellectual historians, and others in the fields of philosophy, literary theory, history and methods of education, classics, and rhetoric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giambattista Vico\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801480876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801480874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.54w x 0.60d","brand":"Giambattista Vico","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947176132863,"sku":"9780801480874","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_76468260-249f-47a1-a80d-2d0eae1043e7.jpg?v=1681517172","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-humanistic-education-giambattista-vico-9780801480874","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
