Giambattista Vico Discussion Group

  • Abigail Adams Institute 14 Arrow Street Cambridge United States (map)

Join us Tuesday nights from 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM as Jonathan Yudelman and Jacob Wolf of Boston College lead a discussion group on Giambattista Vico. The group will provide an opportunity for those interested to grapple together with Vico’s often very obscure thought, and to try to place his insights into the context of post-Renaissance and enlightenment Europe. More importantly, we will try to bring Vico into dialogue with contemporary concerns about history, religion, politics, identity and the limits of philosophy for life. It is open to interested and qualified participants, with typical participant a graduate, post-graduate or advanced undergraduate student.
