Felice Mosca Press is an independent scholarly publisher dedicated to exploring the life, thought, and legacy of Giambattista Vico (1668–1744), the Neapolitan philosopher whose New Science remains one of the most original and underread works in the history of ideas.
The press takes its name from Felice Mosca, Vico’s own publisher in eighteenth-century Naples — a deliberate act of continuity. What the Neapolitan Felice Mosca began, we continue: bringing Vico’s thought into the world, carefully and seriously, for readers who recognize that his questions have not yet been answered.
Vico was, by any measure, an untimely thinker. Unrecognized in his own age, rediscovered in every subsequent one, he remains perpetually ahead of the conversations he anticipated — on language and its origins, on the nature of historical knowledge, on what it means to say that human beings made the world they inhabit. Felice Mosca Press exists because those conversations are still unfinished, and because Vico studies deserves a dedicated, independent publishing home of its own.
We publish monographs, edited volumes, and translations that advance Vico scholarship across its full international range — in philosophy, intellectual history, literary criticism, the history of rhetoric, and the theory of culture. We align our peer review practices with the standards of the Association of University Presses, and we are committed to making serious scholarship accessible in both print and digital formats.
The press is guided by an Editorial Advisory Council of leading Vico scholars from across Europe and North America, whose counsel shapes our editorial direction and connects our program to the broader international community of Vico studies.
We welcome proposals from established scholars and emerging researchers alike. If you are working on Vico — on any aspect of his thought, his sources, his reception, or his relevance — we would like to hear from you.
