Catana, Leo: Vico and Literary Mannerism

A Study in the Early Vico and His Idea of Rhetoric and Ingenuity. This book explains how Vico picked up ideas on metaphor and ingenuity from the literary rhetoric of the seventeenth century as formulated by Emanuele Tesauro and Matteo Peregrini, how he turned them into valuable concepts in a general theory of knowledge, and how Vico's original position enabled him to criticize Descartes' idea of rationality. An appendix provides English translations of the relevant passages of Tesauro and Peregrini. XII,142 Seiten, gebunden (Emory Vico Studies; Vol. 6/Peter Lang Verlag 1999) Mängelexemplar
