Este trabajo trata de mostrar cómo sobre la base de una filosofía del ingenio, Vico se dispone a delinear una representación figurada fundamentándose sobre una "convertibilidad" de los signos y de sus significados así como de los "conjuntos" de signos y su representación figurativa. La denominada "semiótica" viquiana se transforma a sí misma en una "sematología" de la "representación histórica".This paper intends to show how Vico sets himself to shape a figurative representation on the basis of the philosophy of wit. (...) In doing so, he takes as foundation the "convertibility" of signs and their meanings together with the "sets" of signs and their figurative representation. The so called Vichian "semiotics" is thus shifted into a "sematology" of the historical representation. (shrink)

Hay toda una serie de preguntas que giran en torno a la problemática interna misma de la Scienza Nuova, y que sólo un "nuevo" concepto de ciencia -vinculado a la crítica de Vico a la formación de sistemas característica de la temprana Modernidad- las consigue responder de manera efectiva, bosquejando una nueva idea "orgánica" entre saber especulativo-teórico y saber orientado a los estados de cosas.There is a whole series of questions that revolves around the core problem of the Scienza Nuova: (...) only a "new" concept of science -linked to Vico's criticism of the formation of systems, characteristic of the early modernity- is able to respond to these questions in an effective manner, sketching a new "organic" idea between speculative-theoretical knowledge and knowledge directed to the state of things.

El escrito de la Ciencia Nueva es un texto cifrado. Pero quizá pueda descifrarse –él y la entera obra viquiana– mediante el juego conjugado de dos claves hermeneúticas inseparables: la una metafísica, semiótica la otra. Ambas se condicionan recíprocamente por la idea de “sintesis geométrica” cuya textualización descansa a su vez en un subtexto no escrito. Este subtexto posibilitador de la síntesis de semiótica en Vico no es otro que su modo de pensamiento transcendental, en nada kantiano, moderno en todo.The (...) writing of Scienza Nuova is an encoded text. It might perhaps be deciphered not only that very text but the whole Vico’s work as well by using the connected game of two distintics hermeneutic cleves: one is metaphysical, the other semiotic. Both maintein a mutual relationship and both also are conditioned by the "geometrical syntax", a textualiztion of which seems torest in a non-written text. This subtext which makes possible to carry a complete synthesis of both metaphysics and semiotic in Vico, is nothing but his particular way of transcendental thinking, which has little to do with the Kantian tradition and is fully rooted in the contemporay thinking.
