Description:This text examines in full the interconnections between Giambattista Vico's "New Science" and James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake". Maintaining that Joyce is the greatest modern "interpreter" of Vico, Donald Phillip Verene demonstrates how images from Joyce's work offer keys to Vico's philosophy.

The book devotes a chapter to each period of Vico's thought, from his early orations on education to his anti-Cartesian metaphysics and his conception of universal law, culminating in his new science of the history of nations. Verene analyses Vico's major works, including all three editions of the "New Science".
