Scienza Nuova

Scienza Nuova, or "New Science," is an intellectual movement founded by historian and philosopher Giambattista Vico in the early 18th century. It aims to understand human history and culture through a cyclical view of societies' development, emphasizing that civilizations evolve through stages rooted in shared language, myths, and traditions. Vico’s approach contrasts with traditional historical methods by focusing on the collective human imagination and cultural narratives as shaping historical progress. Essentially, Scienza Nuova seeks to uncover the underlying patterns and meanings behind human history, highlighting the importance of cultural and linguistic continuity in understanding societal change.
