| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
From the 16th to the 17th century, when the theoretical justification of absolute monarchy was advanced, Campanella, who worked toward founding an ideal Christian city state, and Bruno, who mentioned social reform, were both forbidden to philosophize freely and persecuted.
After the Inquisition in which the atomism mentioned in The Assayer contributed to the judgement of Galileo as a heretic, in a prudent manner he treated the indivisible and the infinity as a mathematical discussion and said that limited human intelligence is not able to understand infinity.
After Galileo’s trial, there were those who worked on a libertine theme such as Magalotti in the Galilean school, but the translation of Lucretius by Marchetti was not allowed to be published due to its atomistic character.
