Vico and Herder: Two Studies in the History of IdeasHogarth, 1992 - 228 Seiten In the first section of the book Isaiah Berlin studies the philosophical ideas of Giovanni Battisti Vico (1668-1744), a profound and original thinker, who, after being overshadowed by Montesquieu, has been rediscovered at intervals ever since, but has probably even more to say to the present age than to his own. |
