Argues that Giambattista Vicos early modern account of Roman mythology was a sophisticated attempt to present an epistemological and political critique of the aristocratic way of conceiving the world.

P>Review "This is an exceptionally erudite and quite original historical-philosophical reconsideration of the original context and pith of Vicos thought. It strives to understand Vicos famed theory of poetic imagination as first and foremost a political critique of the entrenched interests of the Neapolitan aristocracy and to carve open space for juridical reform that widened the scope of interests that its economic and political structures served." - Jason M.
