Any reference to Vico should be qualified.  In fact, a careful reading of Vico points against any historicist leaning (in spite of what some popular English interpreters would suggest).  At the very least, *arguments* are needed to back the claim that elements of historicism are to be found in Vico.  Otherwise, one must believe Vico when he swears by ancient political Platonism, or where he defends the classical teaching of natural right against its modern detractors (Machiavelli, Spinoza, Hobbes, etc.)
