註釋Vico's brilliant mind was such an entity that he considered it all his life to the point of writing his biography not as everyone else used to do, focusing on thing done, places visited, and people met, but by centering on the mind's activity itself. In one word, Vico in his Autobiography wrote how his mind developed: he wrote his mind's growth by always learning new things either by himself or from others. Thus, the human beings that he mentions are mainly philosophers, lawyers, scientists, and historians. The things that he names are titles of books written by men that he never saw, rarely met, and never will meet. That is what his New Science is: an encyclopedia on the Universal Mind that springs up from all the particular references to authors and books of the present and the past. That is the background of this work of 1732.
