- Michael Finnegan: (song) Michael Finnegan is an endless song, which repeats itself ad nauseam → Vico's circular conception of history
- fin: (French) end → fin + again → Vico's circular conception of history
- Meister: medeval scholars who typically worked independentaly of the universities and where at war with the doctors (Aquinas, Duns Scotus); seen as radicals the advanced new and heretical ideas: famous characters, Meister Eckhart, Willam of Ockam, Roger Bacon (perhaps even Marten Luther has the characteristics). Frequently criticised the medeval church, often where empiricists, and nominalists, but always seen as outsiders.
