Giambattista Vico was born in Naples on June 23, 1668. Several years ago Dr. Giorgio Tagliacozzo conceived the project of celebrating his centennial by assembling and publishing an International Symposium of papers by eminent authorities on Vico or on various aspects of contemporary philosophy and culture to which Vico's thought and work had some obvious relevance. He corresponded indefatigably with a great many potential contributors, advisers and helpers, gathered unto himself a co-editor and a board of three consulting editors, and in 1969 the Symposium duly appeared, in a large volume, beautifully printed and produced—though not, in the opinion of this reviewer, beautifully bound—by the Johns Hopkins Press.
