The Italian philosopher Benedetto Croce (1866-1952) spent most of his life as a private scholar in Naples. His Estetica, which first appeared in 1902, has remained a seminal work not only for aesthetics but also for general linguistics. As the full title indicates, this is not a narrow work dealing with the theory of art and criticism. For Croce intended this to be the first part of his "philosophy of the spirit" and he thus presents a systematic general theory intended to solve all philosophical problems. The work presents an account of the structure of the human mind and shows how art...

Giambattista Vico (1668-1744) is often regarded as the beleaguered, neglected genius of pre-Enlightenment Naples. His work-though known to Herder, Coleridge, Matthew Arnold, and Michelet-widely and deeply appreciated only during the twentieth century. Although Vico may be best known for the use James Joyce made of his theories in Finnegans Wake, Croce's insightful analysis of Vico's ideas played a large role in alerting readers to his unique voice.

Benedetto Croce wrote this work in 1938 when the western world had succumbed to the notion that history is a creature of blind force. A reviewer at the time noted the importance of Croce's belief that the central trend in the evolution of man is the unfolding of new potentialities, and that the task of the historian is to discover and emphasize this trend - the story of liberty. The first edition in English appeared in London in 1941. This edition includes modest improvements to the translation by Folke Leander and is arranged by Claes Ryn.
