Journal Title: Scientia et Fides - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The year 2017 marks the 4th centennial of the death of Francisco Suárez, a key figure in the unfolding of Modern philosophy. As a good Scholastic theologian, the depth and breadth of the topics he focused on are indeed laudable. Recently, interest on this Granadin thinker has grown exponentially, in particular with regard to his contributions to metaphysics and international Law. His anthropological input, however, is perhaps lesser known. This monographic volume of Scientia et fides aims to bring into the light this aspect of the Suarezian corpus.
