Abstract
By criticizing the geometrical method, which tends to be the only instrument, not
only in the sciences, but also within all domains of human life, Vico returns
to Aristotle’s φρόνησις. In his early works where he sketches the basic principles
of his “New Science”, he sets φρόνησις both as a principle of humanistic
education, as well as a basis for human behavior. According to him, “the deeds
of men cannot be assessed by a straight and unbending rule of the mind; they
must be viewed according to the supple Lesbic rule, which does not conform
bodies to it, but alters itself according to them” (De Nostri, VII, 34).
In this text, the concept φρόνησις in the early works of Vico will be examined
through several aspects: the ethical function of φρόνησις, the function of
φρόνησις in the critique of the geometrical method, verum-factum and
φρόνησις, ingenium and φρόνησις, ars topica and φρόνησις, providence and
φρόνησις. Through these thematic points, the characteristics of φρόνησις in
Vico’s works will be drawn, which will show his strategy in the battle against
“the barbarism of the intellect”.
