The New Art of Autobiography: An Essay on the Life of Giambattista Vico Written by Himself
Verene, Donald Phillip (Charles Howard Candler Professor of Metaphysics and Moral Philosophy, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Metaphysics and Moral Philosophy, Emory University, Atlanta)
This study of Vico's autobiography discusses its place in the history of autobiography generally and shows it to be the first work of modern intellectual autobiography which uses a genetic method. It argues that Vico is not only the founder of the philosophy of history, but also the originator of a philosophical art of self-narrative.
