- Title
LOS LIBERALES RADICALES INGLESES Y LA FILOSOFÍA POLÍTICA DE FRANCISCO SUÁREZ.
- Authors
VERA, ALFONSO DÍAZ
- Abstract
The theologian and Jesuit Priest Francisco Suárez had a remarkable intellectual influence in the turbulent England of the seventeenth century. His political philosophy, based on Classical and Christian concepts and principles on the community, contrasts in this respect with that of social contractarians, like Hobbes, Locke or Rousseau, but at the same time it contributes, much earlier than these, to a theory of democratic government. The English liberalism of the late nineteenth century saw, like in Germany, a controversy between those who, like the Radicals, put the emphasis on the principles and moral values and those who supported a practical policy conditioned to the needs of the moment. In the context of this dispute, when at the beginning of the 20th century the new liberalism began to prevail, a group of English Catholic intellectuals claimed the figure of Francisco Suárez. Certain elements of his theory, such as the emphasis on the moral component of political relations or limitations on the competencies of the governing body of the community, were in line with radical liberal ideals, which were overcome by the expansion and increase of power and functions of the States.
