Abstract

Invested in the analysis proposed of the conceptions of time and history, made explicitby Giambasttista Vico in his book "The New Science", the research conducted up to now and from which this project derives ascertains both the polysemic aspect of these conceptions and the need to expand its study field in order to duly understand it. This is due to the discovery of the histories of the civil world, the temporalities in which they happen and, further on, the secrets kept by the world of nature and of God which would derive from the application of scientific methodestablished by the philosopher. That being said, the contemplation of several histories and timesthat compose and support that piece of work seems to assume the correlated contemplation of thetotality of the Viquian scientific-philosophical endeavor. Thus, bearing in mind the developmentof these first observations and, at most, the proper conduction of our research, we present theproposition of internship abroad. (AU)
