He calls the phenomenon corso andricorso. The first era he designates as poetical, the second as imaginativephilosophical,the third as that of extreme rationality or scientism. In asmuch as his philosophy was scientific and rational it belonged to the third era, inas much as it is imaginative and poetical, deviating from the usual Western lineardeterministic approach to history, it belonged in the first and second era; it is anovantiqua; hence he titled it The New Science.
