Mráz, Milan
The famous Spanish theologian and philosopher Rodrigo de Arriaga, who lived and worked for a long time in Prague in the 17th century, was one of the leading proponents of the conception of the possibility of topical infinity in the sphere of creation.

His explanation underwent criticism by Arriaga's contemporary, the important Portugal theologian and philosopher Franciscus Soares, working in Coimbra and in Evora. The first part of this contribution contains a short overview of the development of views about the infinity in philosophy and theology since antiquity to the beginnings of the mod ern times. In the second part there are summarized the basic thoughts about the infinity in the mentioned Arriaga's work. The third and final part of the contribution deals with Soares' conception of the infinity and the criticism of Arriaga's conception of this problem.
