Vico believed that human societies pass through stages of growth and decay. ''The nature of peoples,'' he wrote, ''is first crude, then severe, then benign, then delicate, finally dissolute.''
In short, as people make life better for themselves materially, they fall into moral, spiritual and intellectual decay. ''Men first feel necessity,'' he wrote, ''then [they] look for utility, next attend to comfort, still later amuse themselves with pleasure, thence grow dissolute in luxury, and finally go mad and waste their substance.''
The end of the process is apparent, Vico said, when ''each man [is] thinking only of his own private interests.'' But that is only the first stage of barbarism. The second and last stage ''arises from an excess of reflection or from the predominance of technology,'' in the words of the Encyclopedia Britannica article on Vico. Only then, when materialism degenerates into a systematic examination of itself, are people ''made inhuman by the barbarism of reflection,'' as Vico said.
Human society, Vico said, progresses from the forests to the huts to the villages to the cities ''and finally the academies.'' That's the end.
