Resumo: This paper aims to show that Vico cannot be considered an orthodox-catholic thinker of liber arbitrium indifferentiae. Being distinct from sacred history (that of the Jews), secular history can be openly and unapologetically investigated. The “new science” investigates the laws, constants, and regularities of the “common nature of nations” and does so neither appealing to God’s interventions nor to any idea of human will as unconditioned and transparent. On these grounds, providence is the “unexpected” logic of events, the divergence between the narrow scope of human intentions and the “wider” consequences of their actions, either powerful or disastrous. Providence (the “queen”) is “ordinary help” and leaves it up to man (the “blacksmith”) the burden to understand the meaning and aims of his own actions.

Distinta da história sacra (aquela dos Judeus), a história secular pode ser investigada abertamente e de modo não apologético. A “nova ciência” investiga as leis, as constantes e as regularidades da “natureza comum das nações”; assim, não faz nenhum apelo às intervenções de Deus, nem a qualquer ideia de vontade humana como sendo incondicionada e transparente. Com base nisso, a providência é a “inesperada” lógica dos eventos, a divergência entre o escopo estreito das intenções humanas e as consequências “mais amplas” de suas ações, poderosas ou desastrosas. A providência (a rainha) é a “ajuda ordinária” e deixa ao homem (o artesão) o fardo de entender o significado e os fins das suas próprias ações. Universidade Estadual De Maringá2018-07-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciHumanSocSci/article/view/4064610.4025/actascihumansoc.v40i1.40646Acta Scientiarum.
