Abstract
NAVET, Georges. Wild Error: Politics, Animality and Humanity in G. B. Vico. Estud. filos. práct. hist. ideas [online]. 2011, vol.13, n.2, pp.25-38. ISSN 1851-9490.
The moment when humans fall into a state of "bestioni" ("big beasts") is clearly envisioned by G. B. Vico as a second fall: a fall into something previous to all bonding, be it among humans themselves or with the divinity. The Diritto universale and the Scienza Nuova assume then the thinking of new forms (symbolic, poetic, political…) of human's future, under the reactivation of truth as a force ("vis veri") and a relationship with the divinity. Thus emerges the family space, then the politics space with its successive and diverse dispositions, but always keeping the human's animal dimension.
Keywords : Animality; Beast condition; Humanity; G. B. Vico.
