TOPICS, CRITICS, DIALECTICS. ARE THERE PLATONIC INFLUENCES
IN VICO’S DE NOSTRI TEMPORIS STUDORIUM RATIONE? The
aim of this paper is to analyze some possible influences of Plato’s dialogues
on Giambattista Vico’s thought. The author puts the focus on the integration
between topics and critics proposed in De nostri temporis studiorum ratione,
and assumes that Vico based this important theory on Plato’s dialectics, which he
rethinked in order to face the challenges of modern philosophy.
