[edit] Neapolitan?
Vico a Neapolitan philosopher? As the most influential figure in the Italian philosophical tradition (more than Benedetto Croce, that's sure), calling him Neapolitan is a bit reductive. So Dante is a Florentine poet and Mussolini a Romagnolo politician, huh?--213.140.21.227 13:47, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
I love Vico, but surely Aquinas?
[edit] List of sources
Isn't there a more wikipedian standard way of doing the sources-lists? Just underlining them and putting them before the next paragraph doesn't seem to quite fit in with the rest of the site's layout... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.240.183.133 (talk • contribs) 09:02, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Moved from article (regarding picture)
The following was moved from the top of the article:
- [[image:|right|]] N.B.--the posted image does not seem to be of G. B. Vico. (This is the only representation I've ever seen of a bald and bearded Vico.) Cf. the copy of Francesco Solimena's portrait of Vico commissioned by Villarosa, a reproduction of which serves as frontispiece for the Fisch & Bergin translation of "The Autobiography of Giambattista Vico" (Ithaca, NY: Cornell Univ. Pr., 1944).

[edit] Quotations
The paragraph "Quotations" has been reverted because "Quotes go on Wikiquote". That's not how i imagined wikipedia : i prefer to have all informations on 1 author in 1 article. Why not. But then, the reference to wikiquote should be added (better by the one who made the revert) and all the authors' articles should be checked. Chrisdel 01:32, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Joyce
Perhaps James Joyce deserves more of a mention here? Vico is sort of the eminence grise of Finnegans Wake: the book's cyclical pattern was inspired by Vico, and he is more or less explicitly referenced at the end of the first sentence: "brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs." - Jmabel | Talk 07:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] External links
The last link listed under "External links" is now dead, though it is archived at Archive.org. NBR 01:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wow!!
This is REALLY bad. It's too bad I loath this anti-scientific, reationary philosopher so damned much, or I might fix it. I wonder how the Italian version is, but I don't expect much better.--Francesco Franco aka Lacatosias 15:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
He may be anti-scientific and reactionary, but he's the greatest philosopher we've had, so let's be a bit more respectful... --213.140.21.227 13:49, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
