Guest Editors' Note

This is the second of two special issues of Social Research (see also Autumn 1976) which bring together papers originally presented at the conference on "Vico and Contemporary Thought" held in New York City on January 27-31, 1976, in celebration of the 250th anniversary of Giambattista Vico's New Science. The conference was sponsored by the Institute for Vico Studies, 69 Fifth Avenue, Suite 17A, New York, N.Y. 10003, in association with the Casa Italiana of Columbia University and the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research. The conference was aided by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Rockefeller Foundation.

As in the first issue, some of the papers presented here were revised after the conference and now appear in longer form. The papers of this issue focus on the social-scientific and pedagogical significance of Vico's thought. Those of the previous issue focused on its philosophical and historical significance. The issue closes with the first English translation of Vico's De mente heroica, read only in part at the conference, and with a continuation of the bibliography of critical writings on Vico in English begun in Giorgio Tagliacozzo and Donald Phillip Verene, eds., Giambattista Vico's Science of Humanity (Baltimore: John Hopkins University Press, 1976).
