Abstract

Este trabajo analiza si es apropiada la lectura de Arendt acerca de la posibilidad de que Vico aplicase los principios universales de la Scienza Nuova al mundo civil. Se intentará mostrar la plausibilidad de las siguientes tesis: a) existe cierta afinidad entre la finalidad "práctica" de la poesía en Vico y la categoría de narratividad en Arendt; b) existe una marcada diferencia en cómo ambos autores conciben la posibilidad de intervención sobre el mundo civil. Vico propone la función de la prudencia basada en el sentido común para evitar la ruina de las naciones; Arendt apuesta al juicio reflexivo y al pensamiento como medios de conjurar las catástrofes políticas.This paper aims at analysing whether Arendt's interpretation regarding the possibility that Vico would apply the universal principles of his Scienza Nuova to the civil world is feasible. The article attempts to show the plausibility of the following theses: a) there is some similarity between the "practical" finality characteristic of Vico's poetry and Arendt's category of narrativity; b) there is a remarkable difference in the way these two authors regard the possibility of intervening in the civil world. Vico argues that prudence based on common sense can avoid the collapse of nations; Arendt suggests that reflective judgement and thinking are the best means to avoid political disaster
