Paolo Fabiani - The philosophy of the imagination in Vico and Malebranche

Paolo Fabiani - The philosophy of the imagination in Vico and Malebranche

Profile image of Paolo FabianiPaolo Fabiani

This book is a retrospective view of modern philosophical anthropology through the works of two of its greatest exponents. the author demonstrates how mythology, the philosophy of history and language and Vico's concept of man had as a constant referral point Malebranche's psychology with its Cartesian formulation. The idolatrous and mythopoietic imagination that is described in La Scienza Nuova (New Science) has much in common with the "pagan" mind (that is to say the mind subjugated to passions, sensitivity and fantasy that is described in La Recherche (The Search after Truth). Some of the themes discussed here are myth, the metaphoric nature of thought, idolatry, the formation of mentality, the relationships which bind passions and representations and the association of ideas through iconic images. Also discussed are other themes such as the structure of society and imagination, imitation, persuasion and social relationships, communication within society between illustrious imaginations. Moreover in Malebranche has been found a complex and complete theory of imaginative universals (universali fantastici).

Imaginative universals and human cognition in The New Science of Giambattista Vico.

Mariagrazia Granatella

Universals have occupied a central role in philosophy ever since the Socratic quest for definitions. The need to find concepts both universal and shareable is rooted in the Western philosophical tradition, in order to capture and control the disorder that besets human life. In other words, Universals occur as part of a rational attitude by which to substantiate knowledge and its evaluation. My aim in this paper is to confront Vico’s discovery of imaginative universals with the classical paradigm of rational thought that, formed by abstraction from empirical experience, reduces the knowledge to a rigorous process of inference. Against this barbarism of reflection, what Vico does in his works is to chart out possible new ways in which science can innovate itself.

Some Remarks on Imagination. Notes on the Margin of "De Imaginatione" by Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola (1469-1533)

2014 •

Krzysztof P . Wawrzonkowski

The aim of this article is to explain the role of imagination in human life, as it was understood by Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola. First, I analyze the cognitive function of imagination. Then, I discuss its place within the intellectual powers, its misleading character, and its ability of causing emotions. Finally, I try to point at the ways of controlling it by reason and using it by man for their own purposes.

From Vico to the sociocultural imagination

2015 •

Tania Zittoun

The papers by Mariagrazia Granatella (2015), Tuuli Pern (2015) and Pablo Rojas (2015), invited by Tateo (2015) engage in a dialogue with the texts of Giambattisto Vico, a philosopher from the 18th century. In this commentary, focusing on imagination, I first follow the authors’ effort to show the compatibility between Vico’s ideas and current cultural psychology; I then highlight two issues of particular interest emerging from this dialogue.

Recovering Sapienza Poetica: Vico's Answer to Our Times

2007 •

George Viney

Originally presented at the Foundation for Mythological Studies' Conference: "Nature and Human Nature," held at the Santa Barbara Center, 2007. Giambattista Vico, considered a foundational thinker for Cognitive Science, insisted that for wise, eloquent, and prudent action, one needed to cultivate Sapienza Poetica, or poetic wisdom. To achieve this kind of wisdom, one needed to grasp the originary foundations of human knowing, which were considered to be poetic images. A professor of rhetoric utterly opposed to Cartesian thinking, Vico developed a “New Science” for cultivating Sapienza Poetica. This science articulated how humanity found, through “ingenium,” the originary topoi or commonplaces for Sapienza Poetica. Vico’s ideas provide a way of knowing and finding our way within the topoi of the psyche as well as the actual landscape topoi that these times have lost imaginative connection to. Vico described our modern age as one of “Intellectual Barbarism” in which imaginative insight, speech, and wisdom were lost to the inhumanity of abstractions. We are in need of a new topos, or commonplace, out of which we can ingeniously find new Hermetic connections and ways of imagining, knowing, and responding to our environmental crisis. This paper reintroduces Vico’s essential ideas and discusses Vico’s articulation of epistemological and rhetorical knowing which can heal the split currently producing the environmental crises of our times. This brief paper provides an exemplum of Vico's rhetorical ingenuity and imagination relevant to psychological imagination and knowing.

The Providence of Associated Minds: Agency in the Thought of Giambattista Vico and the Origins of Social and Cultural Psychology

Luca Tateo

Giambattista Vico (1668–1744) has been one of the most innovative and influential thinkers in the history of human and social sciences. Although psychology sometimes underestimates his contribution, Vico was the first scholar to develop a systematic view of the relationship between mind and culture. This chapter presents his ideas about the co-development of psychological and cultural processes and about the philosophical view of individual and collective agency. I show how Vico’s “new science” about human facts will directly influence the birth of social and cultural psychology, through his reception, for instance, by Wilhelm Wundt and Carlo Cattaneo. The intellectual project that Vico pursued all his life was to develop a specific theory and method to account for the history of human development of civilization as well as to the full range of human products, arts, law, customs, language, institutions, etc. Besides, he developed several concepts—such as imagination, common sense, verum factum principle, embodiment, poetic logic, imaginative universals, genetic principle, etc.—that directly questioned the mechanistic and reductionist view of mental processes. For these reasons, it is worth rediscovering today Giambattista Vico as a fundamental source of ideas that could contribute to the development of new reflections and directions in psychological science.
