Example text

Given these trends Vico is forced to accept a radical a-topia: the fact that "non solo viveva da straniero nella sua patria, ma anche sconosciuto" (p. 26) (he lived in his native city not only a stranger but quite unknown). The metaphorics of place and displacement offer a sharp sense of the contradictory complexity of Vico's thought both in the Autobiography and, as I will show in the successive chapters, in the New Science. It is in a second encounter in a bookstore, for instance, that he is asked if he wants to become a Theatine.

The picture of man's powerless condition, dramatized by the child's fall and sickness, constitutes the Augustinian backdrop against which Vico etches the process of the making of the self within the context of the problematics of education.
