Abstract

This dissertation is the result of research work linked to the Graduate Program in Modern and Contemporary Philosophy of the Federal University of Uberlandia, the work is embodied in the Research Line "Social and Political Philosophy." The theme of the research was to investigate the concept of wisdom in poetic magnum opus of Giambattista Vico (1668-1744). The problem formulation of the research allowed a brief investigation of the philosophical context in which the works of Vico caught the debate on the formation of civil society, but especially the man who is. The Neapolitan philosopher runs through the history of philosophy and aims to discover the true wisdom of the ancients from its method elucidated here. This research topic is covered in the second chapter, which discusses Vico's arguments about the wisdom of men in dark times and fabulous. The third chapter presents the method of philosophical-philological of Vico, that based upon the concept of poetic wisdom examines the wisdom of Homer, or the discovery of the true Homer. In short, the dissertation allows further discussion of the philosophical assumptions of the history of nations that can be known with the approach of fables, which were responsible for the preservation of the first human ideas born in the world of gentility.
