New ScienceNew Science
Synopsis:
New Science is a new play inspired by 18th Neapolitan philosopher Giambattista Vico. It takes on the themes of the rise and fall of civilizations, humanity's earliest origins, and the science of the imagination. It's describes in the advance materials as "part-comedy, part-tragedy, 100% scientific experiment. . ..Giambattista Vico's (1668-1744) masterwork, Nuova Scienza, influenced authors as diverse as Karl Marx and James Joyce. Vico proposes, 'In the night of thick darkness enveloping the earliest antiquity, so remote from ourselves, there shines the eternal and never failing light of a truth beyond all question: that the world of civil society has certainly been made by [humans], and that its principles are therefore to be found within the modifications of our own human mind.' Vico goes on to apply his new science using the two distinctive features of human nature: fantasia (imagination) and reflessione (reflection)."
