In order to examine<\/a> cultural morphology, I must mention, alongside Oswald Spengler<\/a> \u2013 and perhaps with even greater respect \u2013 the name and work of Giambattista Vico, who made important observations on the cognitive and intellectual development of human communities. Vico lived at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries AD, and was known to his contemporaries primarily as a professor of rhetoric at the University of Naples. In the eyes of posterity, his historical, sociological, philosophical and philological research gained much greater significance than this position, the results of which he published over several decades under the title \u201cPrinciples of a New Science Concerning the Common Nature of Nations\u201d. The work is typically referred to as \u201cNew Science\u201d. The book was written in archaic, baroque Italian, which is also reflected in the translations, so it is not an easy text, but it is still worth delving into. In the following, I would like to present Vico\u2019s most important results using modern concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
