In chapter three I discuss the interpretation of Leon Pompa. I then attempt to get more deeply into Vico's view of history by looking at him through important interpretations. In chapter two I explore some of the main features of Vico's epistemology. I consider the problem of historical knowledge as such and attempt to show that Vico makes an original contribution by his insistence that we need to critically appropriate the historical texts from the past. In chapter one I offer a phenomenology of the historical world according to Vico. In this essay I come at the problem by attempting to understand Vico's theory of knowledge and how it comes to bear upon his interpretation of history. The question of how to interpret the role of providence in the New Science of Giambattista Vico (1668-1744) is one of the most vexing problems of interpretation surrounding Vico's magnum opus. The role of providence in the "New Science" of Giambattista Vico.
