Colloque international concernant les derniers résultats des “Vico Studies” et des domaines proches: état de l'art, nouvelles approches, nouvelles découvertes. Colloque organisé avec le soutien de l'IEA de Paris et l'Istituto per la storia del pensiero filosofico e scientifico moderno - Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche, Naples.

Giovanni Battista Vico (1668–1744) spent most of his professional life as Professor of Rhetoric at the University of Naples. He was trained in jurisprudence, but read widely in Classics, philology, and philosophy, all of which informed his highly original views on history, historiography, and culture. His thought is most fully expressed in his mature work, the Scienza Nuova or The New Science. In his own time, Vico was relatively not so known, but from the nineteenth century onwards his views found a wider audience and today his influence is widespread in the humanities and social sciences. While borrowing our title “The Vico Road” to James Joyce, the conference at the Paris Insitute of Advanced Study will examine the current state of the study of the works of Giambattista Vico. We will try to encourage discussion of ideas that can be considered Vichian in nature and that have some affinity with modern and contemporary thought.
