   Vico’s theory of culture sounds almost identical to Nietzsche’s Apollo and Dionysus.

   Nice summary of Vico. I believe he was less obscure than is claimed here. De Maistre quotes him, Goethe was familiar with him and Michelet was influenced by him, even going so far as to learn Italian in order to read his works.

   Listening to this talk makes me appreciate just how unique, in a New Right sort of way, Vico was.

   Vico’s relativizing of time is one of the things that sets him apart as a proto-New Right thinker. Linear time is uniform and “egalitarian”. Cyclical time is qualitative and hierarchical.

   And Vico’s concept of il corso e’ ricorso is of great value in finding your bearings in a barbarous age, as well as an excellent and effective means of maintaining-even improving-your morale.

   Also present at the conference was Mark Weber, who gave a talk ‘The End of the American Century and Prospects for the Future’

   If you believe Vico was right and Guénon was wrong, you ought to change the statements on the ‘about’ page so there are no misunderstandings about the main influences on your website.
