Thanks for this article. Just a little clarification: “verum quia factum” is the phrase for the distinction that Vico offered - which wasn’t his “baby” really, but just a helpful way to classify a then modern tendency in thought.

Then there is “verum quia sentitur”. Careful with the spelling because senitur would be a bit different!

God bless.
