Abstract [The three «spezie» of languages in Vico’s «New Science»: diachronic and functional interpretation]. Moving from the connection between language and thought, which plays a central role in Vico’s philosophy, R.M. Zagarella discusses the alternative between the diachronic (or chronological) and the functional (or phenomenological) interpretation of the «three languages» that respectively mark the age of gods, the age of heroes and the age of men in the «New Science». This article reconstructs the most recent debate and, by going into some of the most relevant Vico’s pages on this subject, argues in favor of a coexistence of both the interpretative perspectives.
