Giambattista Vico on Generality - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 26 Generality/Rhetoric/Vico/Gadamer: What gives direction to the human will, Vico believes, is not the abstract generality of reason, but the concrete generality that represents the commonality of a group, a people, a nation or the entire human race. The formation of this common sense is therefore of crucial importance for life. It is on this common sense of truth and rights, which is not knowledge for reasons, but which allows us to find the obvious (verisimile), that Vico bases the meaning and the independent right of eloquence. >Knowledge/Vico. J. B. Vico, De nostri temporis studiorum ratione, mit Übertragung v. W. F.
