Vico ha caratterizzato il proprio pensiero per l’impegno civile, l’antidogmatismo, la riformulazione del razionalismo e della metafisica, tenendo conto della realtà storica del tempo. La Scienza nuova ha creato una nuova metodologia storica, critica dell’intera civiltà umana, facendo corrispondere al mutamento sociale il mutamento delle forme di giurisprudenza, di governo, di religione, di linguaggio, di pensiero, di arte, di organizzazione civile. Vico è considerato il fondatore della moderna filosofia della storia, della cultura, della mitologia, dell’antropologia. Ignorato o criticato nel Settecento e riscoperto solo nella metà dell’Ottocento, Vico è oggi al centro di una profonda rivalutazione a livello internazionale.
