It is a great advantage to have [the "Practic of the New Science"] reprinted with the text of the New Science as it offers some of Vico's views on the application of his science....

A pioneering treatise that aroused great controversy when it was first published in 1725, Vico's New Science is acknowledged today to be one of the few works of authentic genius in the history of social theory. It represents the most ambitious attempt before Comte at comprehensive science of human society and the most profound analysis of the class struggle prior to Marx.
