Keywords:
Francisco de Vitoria. Baroque Scholasticism. Rulership. Rights. Natural slavery.Abstract
Francisco de Vitoria (1483-1546) has exerted a decisive influence on 16th-17th centuries’ theology and the theory of the natural rights of peoples, in international perspective, especially through his two Relectiones de indis. The aim of this study is to highlight the basis of his ethical-juridical discussions, namely, the account of dominium that may be ascribed to individuals and/or collectivities, in the First Part of his De indis recenter inventis relectio prior. Central and necessary topic of debate will be the way how Vitoria treated the theory of natural slavery, having as a background the ideas of Aristotle.Downloads
