Description
Book SynopsisJohn P. Doyle's groundbreaking studies of Francisco Suarez's imposing yet highly original system of scholasticism have helped to make the Jesuit's ideas tractable and accessible. This volume collects Doyle's most important articles on the philosophical theology metaphysics, ethics, and legal philosophy of Suarez, and is prefaced by an introductory chapter that places the Jesuit's life and thought in context. The volume is a fitting and timely tribute to a scholar whose selfless and sympathetic concern with the ideas of Suarez have served the cause of Suarezian scholarship with great distinction.
