In 1708, Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico delivers his inaugural lecture to the University of Naples, later published as his first book, On the Study Methods of Our Time, in 1709.
From the publisher:
Giambattista Vico's first original work of philosophy takes up the contemporary "Quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns " and provides a highly interesting statement of the nature of humanistic education. This edition makes available again Elio Gianturco's superb 1965 English translation of a work generally regarded as the earliest statement by Vico of the fundamentals of his position.
