Have you ever felt a sense of déjà vu when studying history? Like we're reliving the same patterns over and over again? 18th-century philosopher Giambattista Vico believed history unfolds in cycles, not in a straight line. In this deep dive, we explore Vico's groundbreaking work, The New Science, and his concept of "ricorso," the cyclical return of societal stages. We’ll examine the three ages – Divine, Heroic, and Human – and discuss how understanding these cycles can provide profound insights into our present and future. Prepare to challenge your assumptions about progress and discover a mind-blowing perspective on the human story. Join us as we unlock the secrets of Vico's thought!
