Abstract: It is always a debatable issue in the field of Philosophy, even when seeking the simple task of delimiting Modernity from causality. Is it possible to define a person responsible or a specific moment to reclassify the concept of causality? From Ancient to Modern Philosophy. Looking for an approach that meets new perspectives and demands of the time. In this sense, verification is known from an atypical historical moment since the 17th century with the gradual intensification of European trade, the emergence of a new social segment (the bourgeoisie) within the political framework, the promotion of a new Man is defended, adopting as the ultimate end. There is a transition from the world centered on God to filling Man in place. We can see a change in the order of expectations from faith to the adoption of rational arguments, as well as scientific experiments. Man's individuality becomes the focus in the construction of political theories. Creative (synthetic) thinking and critical (analytical) thinking in the face of the natural world emerge as challenging sources against previous times and defined Modern Philosophy from the perspective of the order of the natural world. Giambattista Vico (1668-1744) defended adopting Man in the way of visualizing a possible and proper world, the social world, independent of the natural order. The objective of the article is to point out the concept verum-factum convertuntur as a conceptual material guarantee to define what the Neapolitan author understood by causality.
