The New Science

The New Science (Italian: La Scienza Nuova pronounced [la ʃˈʃɛntsa ˈnwɔːva]) is the major work of Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico. It was first published in 1725 to little success, but has gone on to be highly regarded and influential in the philosophy of history, sociology, and anthropology. The central concepts were highly original and prefigured the Age of Enlightenment.

Not to be confused with Galileo Galilei's 1638 Two New Sciences (Due Nuove Scienze).
