Illuministic

Yet the author's resistance against the violations of intellectual, political and personal freedom, perpetrated against him by the Tuscan representatives of the Congregation of the Inquisition, is always balanced through a profoundly illuministic spirit of rational pragmatism.

Even Calvino in the Cosmicomiche, Ti con zero, and Palomar tried to reproduce in literature cosmological theories, or a type of expression appropriate to the scientist, although perhaps, in regard to Gadda, his proofs are more similar to exercises, experiments worthy of a member of the Oulipo society, in which the scientific habit makes Gadda's observations on nature assume the illuministic structure of the philosophical story, and his prose, the geometric dimension of a combinatorial art.
