This introductory essay provides an extensive overview of Giambattista Vico's (1668-1744) empiricist approach to philosophy in contrast to the rationalist view of René Descartes (1596-1650). Vico's approach is reflected in many of the major works of the last quarter of the 20th century, e.g., George Lakoff.

F Nuessel Vico's Views on Language and Linguistics
1998 •
Frank Nuessel
This article discusses Giambattista Vico's (1668-1744) views on language and linguistics. It poses the following questions: (1) What is language?, and (2) What is linguistics? It also discusses the following items: (1) The Iconicity Hypothesis, (2) the Visual Mimesis Hypothesis, and (3) the Metaphoricity Hypothesis. It delves into Vico's statements on metaphor as an epistemological strategy. Finally, it considers Mark Johnson's (The Body in the Mind: The Bodily Basis of Meaning, Imagination, and Reason, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1987) five components of the imagination: (1) Categorization, (2) schemata, (3) metaphorical projections, (4) metonymy, and (5) narrative structure.

Vico's genealogy of human knowledge has a great relevance to contemporary debates in the areas of politics, theology and sexuality. Apart from the seemingly ineluctable binary of liberal individualism versus conservative communalism, Vico models a politics based upon his understanding of the rhetoric of topics, in which meso-level identities and a plurality of motivations become so enmeshed that dichotomy-straddling trajectories leap out to the attuned observer. On the theological front, Vico reminds us just how fluid and tractable Roman Catholic theology was in the early modern period, when Descartes' and Spinoza's terms could still be taken over and reanimated without fear of a Thomist orthodox backlash. But, perhaps the most striking area in which Vico contributes is sexuality. In an era in which Enlightenment hubris has led to anathemas being hurled at traditional Christian teachings on sexuality, it is jarring to encounter Vico's typological reading of salvation history as a deliverance from phallic self-worship that, if unchecked, could precipitate a reversion to the carnal apeiron of the Age of Gods.

Vico or Spinoza: An Other Way of Looking at Theory, circa 1983
2018 •
Yoshiaki Mihara
This is an anachronistic attempt to revisit "Theory in the 1980s" by casting light from an Other angle, namely, two anti-Cartesian critical tours de force-Vichian criticism and Spinozist critique-heuristically corresponding to Edward W. Said's "secular criticism" and Paul de Man's "deconstructive critique," respectively. Said's article "Secular Criticism" and de Man's Messenger Lectures, both appearing in 1983, are closely analyzed in light of topics, patent or latent, including "epistemol-ogy of error"; "truth-as-trope and the-True-as-occurrence"; "the literal and figural body"; "humanized and dehumanized conatus"; "Humanistic and dehumanized philology"; "secularism and worldliness"; "oppositional criticism and immanent critique"; and "Ethics-as-ethology." The essay's end is emphatically not to "map"-let alone "define"-the entire discursive formation tentatively called "Theory in the 1980s," but, rather, to essayistically open up the field of speculation beyond the spatio-temporal confines of individual oppositions or conflicts that informed those particular discourses. In the end, a possibility of reading the conjunction "or" in the title, "Vico or Spinoza," as otherwise than oppositional, will be suggested in the form of a post-scriptum supplement.
