In this lucid and probing study, Robert C. Miner argues that Giambattista Vico (1668-1744) was the architect of a subversive, genealogical approach to modernity. Through close examination of his early writings, this book reveals that Vico strives to acknowledge the technical advances of modernity while unmasking its origins in human pride.
