Reviews for The New Map of the World: The Poetic Philosophy of Giambattista Vico
"Mazzotta has presented us with a fascinating portrait of a complex philosopher... Mazzotta's sure understanding of the texts at issue, coupled with a forceful prose style, makes this book required reading for anyone trying to understand Vico's encyclopedic thought."
