Description of the research topic:

The aim of the lecture (mainly for PhD-students in literature and philosophy) is to analyze the work of Giambattista Vico, considered to be the founder of philosophy of history and of modern hermeneutic theory. I would like to offer a general overview of some aspects of Vico’s though which can be relevant both from a literarian than from a philosophical point of view. The lecture will give an account of the works of some Italian authors of the 18th and 19th centuries as well who gave important contributions to the formation of modern Dante-studies (G.V. Gravina, S. Bettinelli, G. Gozzi, V. Alfieri, U. Foscolo and G. Leopardi). Specifically, in connection to Vico’s work, the main subjects are the following: the theory of science and of language, the hermeneutic and philosophical-historical principles of Vico.
