«Aludir con la palabra Vico». Nuevas ráfagas viquianas en la prensa periódica española durante el sexenio revolucionario (1868-1874) y la restauración alfonsina (1874-1885)
Keywords: Vico, Hispanism, 1868 September Revolution, Bourbon Restoration, Daily Press, History of Ideas.
This paper studies the reception of Vico in the Spanish daily press between 1868 and 1874, in the socio-political and historical context of the Revolutionary Six- Year Period and the first stage of the Bourbon Restoration. The “New Scienceµ is synonymous with the “Philosophy of Historyµ and Vico is seen as a genius who was misunderstood in his time, but rediscovered in the “century of progressµ. This work – although independent and with its own value – is a fourth addendum to El espejo de la época. Capítulos sobre G. Vico en la cultura hispánica (Naples, 2007).
