Giambattista Vico's discreta domanda: between Cartesian hypothesis, biblical demonstration, and mathesis politica

Ch. 5. P. 67–78.
Sokolov P.

 

This article is focused on the epistemological status of the New Science XLI Element, situated at an intersection of Biblical hermeneutics, civil science, and Cartesian «hypothetical cosmology». Our study seeks to disentangle the web of polemical contexts coming together in the «diluvian postulate» and to explain the peculiarity of this hybrid political–physical argument within the economy of Vichian opus magnum.

Exploring Fyodor Dostoevsky’s existential thought through the problem of the other
Nikolay V. Ryabchinskiy, Tomsk State University Journal of Philosophy, Sociology and Political Science 2024 No. 82 P. 107–118
Dostoevsky’s existential thought cannot be adequately understood outside the context of the Christian tradition with which he associated himself. Dostoevsky develops his ideas in accordance with the doctrine of “sobornost” by which God reveals himself primarily as the “bosom of universal synthesis”. Such a condition precedes the individual separateness and subjective isolation. Dostoevsky postulates the ...

Understanding F. Dostoevsky’s Existential Thought through the Problem of the Other
Рябчинский Н. В., / Basic Research Programme. Серия HUM "Humanities". 2022. № 210.
Although there is an extensive research aimed at examining the existential aspects of F. Dostoevsky’s thought, no study has been reported about the problem of the Other as a fundamental concept in this field. The current study aims to partially meet this gap. The paper is divided into five parts, each of which is devoted ...

Between the Universal and the Local: Political Linguistics and Social Anthropology from Giambattista Vico to Luigi Serio
Pavel V. Sokolov, , in: Universal Localities. The Languages of World Literature.: Berlin: J. B. Metzler Verlag, 2022. P. 187–202.
This paper deals with the conceptual interplay of universal and local in the political linguistics of several prominent eighteenth century Neapolitan thinkers: Giambattista Vico, Antonio Genovesi, Ferdinando Galiani, and Luigi Serio. Following the general lines of the early modern debates around the socio-political role of modern languages among the Settecento Neapolitan intellectuals, we examine a ...

This study deals with one of the most “baroque” aspects of the Vico’s New Science – the paradoxical “utopia” of its first principle, «the first human thought in the gentile world», in the anamorphic structure of this early modern Gesamtkunstwerk. Taking as a starting point the irreducible plurality of the principles of the Vichian civil ...

This study deals with two strategies of approaching the early modern epistemology of Gesteswissenschaften, the first of which sees in them the anticipation of historicism in the 19th - early 20th centuries, and the second – a precedent for turn to rhetoric and contingency, similar to the rhetorical turn in some areas of the theory ...

Ivanova J., Отечественная и зарубежная педагогика 2017 Т. 1 № 5 (43) С. 49–64
This article aims at reestablishing the context of the educative model, carried out by Jan Amos Comenius in his famous work Orbis sensualium pictus (1658). We have demonstrated that pedagogical thought of Comenius brings together two rival models of the production of knowledge and studying sciences: mathematical and topical. The heuristic potential of the topical ...

Physica ingeniosa and Abyssinian philosophy: the Ambivalence of the Cartesian Physics in De ratione, V
Ivanova J., Sokolov P., Laboratorio dell'ISPF 2016 Vol. 13 No. 8
This study contrasts Vico's conception of the physics based on ingenium, developed in chapter five of De ratione, to its alleged counterpart, Cartesian deductive natural science. By examining the various “faces” and ramifications of Cartesian physics with a special focus on Thomas Burnet's “ingenious physics”, we demonstrate the affinity of some versions of the Cartesian ...

В данном исследовании развитое в v главе сочинения Джамбаттисты Вико "О современном методе исследования" видение физики, в центре которого стоит понятие ingenium, противопоставляется картезианскому пониманию естественнонаучного знания как основанного на дедукции. Исследуя различные модификации и ответвления картезианской физики и специально останавливаясь на phisica ingeniosa Томаса Бернета, авторы работы демонстрируют связь, наличествующую между некоторыми версиями картезианского ...
