Giambattista Vico and the understadings of method in our time

The question "How can a more humanistic education and a scientific method that focuses on human being in relation to scientific method and education of our age be possible?" will be put forward over the thoughts of Giambattista Vico. This fundamental problem will be tried to be examined in three chapters. In the Introduction, the ideas about the scientific method of the major thinkers in the history of philosophy will be written. In the first chapter, the general philosophy and views of scientific method and induction of Francis Bacon will be put forth by benefitting from Novum Organum. In the second chapter, the general philosophy and ideas on method of René Descartes will be put forward in the context of Discourse on the Method. In the third chapter, the ideas on the historical method and humanistic education of Giambattista Vico will be set out by particularly taking into account of On the Study Methods of Our Time. In the Conclusion, the ideas about method of Bacon, Descartes and Vico will be compared. Through this comparison, it is intended to point out the view "truth comes before certainty" of Vico in terms of its positive reflections on actual education and science of our age, instead of the view "certainty comes before truth" of Descartes.
