This article reveals key elements of the Neapolitan intellectual map of the Counter-Reformation one of the most complex and fascinating of the Italian history at the dawn of the Enlightenment. The main objective is to resettle the place of both Jansenism and Scholastics to the Neapolitan intellectual history of the first half of the eighteenth Century. This article places the Letters addressed to the Father General of the Society of Jesus written by the patrician Genoese and political philosopher Paolo Mattia Doria in the context of the Inquisition's trial against the atheists-atomists (1688-1697), whose echoes were heard all the way to the first decades of the eighteenth Century.Peer reviewe
