Why did the Italian philosopher Giambattista Augusto Vico call his book of philosophy the ‘New Science’?
assistant
Vico’s book was called the New Science because he believed that he had discovered a new science. He believed that there was a hidden order behind the world that we see around us. He thought that we can discover this hidden order through careful study of history. He thought that the study of history would reveal the laws of nature that govern our world.
