| Vico's countervailing emphasis on humanistic inquiry--what the German scholar Wilhelm Dilthey would later popularize as the Geisteswissenschaften or "spiritual sciences"--has largely been responsible for an interest in Vico that during the last century has engaged some of the most influential intellectuals in Europe and America, including Benedetto Croce, Karl Lamprecht, Aby Warburg, Karl Lowith, Erich Auerbach, Isaiah Berlin, Arnaldo Momigliano, Hayden White, and John Milbank, among others. As Benedetto Croce long ago remarked, "all history is contemporary history"; and though it is going too far to embrace the post-modern inflation of this point, which would make the past a mere discursive construct or "text", it is true that we invariably read that past through the prism of the present with all of its political, cultural and ethical passions. Such significant personages as Benedetto Croce, John Dewey, Karl Jaspers, Jacques Maritain, and Bertrand Russell were made honorary presidents. |
