General notes on Chapter 0

  1. The sentence “inverare il certo”, which has become commonplace, is not found as such in Vico. The text from which it is derived is the tenth “worthiness” of the Scienza Nuova: “La filosofia contempla la ragione, onde viene la scienza del vero; la filologia osserva l’autorità dell’umano arbitrio onde viene la coscienza del certo… Questa medesima degnità dimostra aver mancato per metà così i filosofi che non accertarono le loro ragioni con l’autorità de’filologi, come i filologi che non curarono d’avverare la loro autorità con la ragion dei filosofi”.

    For the relationship between grammar and hermeneutics, see Buccellati 2017 C A R; see also the companion website CAR.
