A Companion to Francisco Suárez
Series: - Brill's Companions to the Christian Tradition, Volume: 53
A Companion to Francisco Suárez examines the thought of scholasticism’s Doctor
eximius in its entirety: both philosophically and theologically. Many of the most distinctive features of Suárez’s thought are identified and evaluated in light of his immediate historical context. What emerges from the studies contained in this volume is the picture of a thinker who is profoundly steeped in the riches of divergent schools of thought and yet who manages to find his own unique voice to add to the chorus of scholasticism.
Victor M. Salas, Ph.D. (2008), Saint Louis University, is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Sacred Heart Major Seminary. His major areas of research and publication are in medieval and scholastic philosophy, especially Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus, and Francisco Suárez.
