Abstract

Vico's thought - says the Author - owns to a tradition beginning with Anaximandros. In this tradition not metaphysics, but anthropology, aesthetics and hermeneutics, i.e. the "Scienza Nuova" of Giambattista Vico, find their roots. The Author proposes to compare Vico and Anaximandros keeping as touchstone the concept of «origin». According to him this attempt allows to focalize the rule of Vico and the importance of his thought in the horizon of modern philosophy.
