This book offers the first integrated exploration of Francisco Suárezâs ethical framework, combining unpublished sources, new critical editions, and fresh interpretations. With contributions in Spanish and English from leading scholars across Europe and the Americas, it examines the foundational structure and wide-reaching implicationsâsocial, political, legal, and religiousâof Suárezâs ethics. You will discover a humanist and Jesuit thinker at the crossroads of medieval tradition and modern innovation. This volume engages his neglected moral treatises and manuscripts, this volume opens a crucial window into early modern scholasticism and proposes Suárez as a key voice in shaping alternative models of modernity.
