Francisco Suárez (1548–1617)

Jesuits and the Complexities of Modernity

Series: 

This is a bilingual edition of the selected peer-reviewed papers that were submitted for the International Symposium on Jesuit Studies on the thought of the Jesuit Francisco Suárez (1548–1617). The symposium was co-organized in Seville in 2018 by the Departamento de Humanidades y Filosofía at Universidad Loyola Andalucía and the Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies at Boston College.
Suárez was a theologian, philosopher and jurist who had a significant cultural impact on the development of modernity. Commemorating the four-hundredth anniversary of his death, the symposium studied the work of Suárez and other Jesuits of his time in the context of diverse traditions that came together in Europe between the late Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and early modernity.

Robert A. Maryks, PhD (Fordham University) has published widely on the history of the Jesuits, including, most recently, the edited volume Encounters between Jesuits and Protestants in Asia and the Americas (Brill, 2018). He is the editor of the Journal of Jesuits Studies, Brill’s series of Jesuit Studies, Jesuit Historiography Online, and Brill Research Perspectives in Jesuit Studies.
Juan Antonio Senent De Frutos, PhD is professor of philosophy of law, ethics and politics at Universidad Loyola Andalucía. He is senior researcher for the project “Jesuit Thought and Tradition: Its Influence on Modernity from the Perspective of History, Translation Studies, and Legal, Moral, and Political Philosophy”.
“The volume especially shines by putting Suárez into fruitful and critical conversations with other well-known thinkers, mostly English, of the modern political canon like Machiavelli, Hobbes, James I, Bentham, and Locke. […] Overall, [it] offers the best recent treatment in English of Suárez’s political thought.”
David Lantigua, University of Notre Dame. In: Theological Studies, Vol. 81, No. 1 (2020), pp. 244–255.

“The articles give a remarkable overview of recent tendencies in the interpretation of this Jesuit thinker [and] offer valuable contributions to further illuminate the various traditions that shaped early modernity.”
Bernhard Knorn, Philosophisch-Theologische Hochschule Sankt Georgen. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 74, No. 2 (Summer 2021), pp. 679–681.
