This book is a treasure house of Italian philosophy. Narrating and explaining the history of Italian philosophers from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, the author identifies the specificity, peculiarity, originality, and novelty of Italian philosophical thought in the men and women of the Renaissance. The vast intellectual output of the Renaissance can be traced back to a single philosophical stream beginning in Florence and fed by numerous converging human factors. This work offers historians and philosophers a vast survey and penetrating analysis of an intellectual tradition which has heretofore remained virtually unknown to the Anglophonic world of scholarship.

Qu'est-ce que le serment, d'où tire-t-il son origine, à quoi sert-il, lui qui semble mettre en question l'homme même comme animal politique? L'archéologie du serment que propose Giorgio Agamben dans ce livre tente de donner une réponse à ces questions. A la faveur d'une recherche originale, menée à partir des sources grecques et latines, mettant en lumière les liens du serment avec la législation archaïque, la malédiction, les noms des dieux et le blasphème, Agamben situe l'origine du serment dans une perspective nouvelle où il apparaît comme l'événement décisif dans l'anthropogenèse, dans le devenir humain de l'homme. Le serment a pu se constituer comme "sacrement du pouvoir" parce qu'il est d'abord ce "sacrement du langage", où l'homme, qui s'est découvert parlant, décide de se lier à sa parole et de jouer en elle sa vie et son destin.

Giambattista Vico: Keys to the "New Science" brings together in one volume translations, commentaries, and essays that illuminate the background of Giambattista Vico's major work. Thora llin Bayer and Donald Phillip Verene have collected a series of texts that help us to understand the progress of Vico's thinking, culminating in the definitive version of the New Science, which was published in 1744.Bayer and Verene provide useful introductions both to the collection as a whole and to the individual writings. What emerges is a clear picture of the decades-long process through which Vico elaborated his revolutionary theory of history and culture. Of particular interest are the first sketch of the new science from his earlier work, the Universal Law, and Vico's response to the false book notice regarding the first version of his New Science. The volume also includes additions to the 17 44 edition that Vico had written out but that do not appear in the English translations-including his brief chapter on the "Reprehension of the Metaphysics of Descartes, Spinoza, and Locke"-and a bibliography of all of Vico's writings that have appeared in English. Giambattista Vico: Keys to the "New Science" is a unique and vital companion for anyone reading or rereading this landmark of Western intellectual history.
