Spanish late scholasticism

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Spanish late scholasticism , also called "second scholasticism ", was a theological, legal and philosophical current of Catholicism in the 16th century, which mainly originated in the countries of the Iberian Peninsula.

Although the designation as terminus technicus has established itself, it is imprecise in two ways: on the one hand, the current is not limited to Spain (which is why some speak of "Iberian late scholasticism") and, on the other hand, the "late scholastics" shared concerns of humanism .

Legal teaching

The Spanish late scholasticism, following on from the theology of Thomas Aquinas , initiated a renaissance of natural law and thus contributed significantly to the development of modern international law , which, following authors of the Spanish late scholasticism, Hugo Grotius (especially with De jure belli ac pacis ) brought to full development. In civil law , the influence of late Spanish scholasticism can be felt in the development of a theory of subjective law. In criminal law , the late Spanish scholasticism contributed to a subjectification of the concept of punishment ( Alfonso de Castro , Diego de Covarrubias y Leyva ).

Economic approaches

Some authors of the late Spanish scholasticism are of great importance in the establishment of classical economics , for example Martin de Azpilcueta , Tommaso de Vio (Tomasso Cajetan), Luis Saravía de la Calle , Juan de Lugo and Luis de Molina . In particular, Molinas De iustitia et iure and the work of Leonhardus Lessius based on it primarily determined the civil law teachings of the aforementioned Dutchman Grotius.
