Francisco Suarez was a principal figure in the transition from
scholastic to modern natural law, summing up a long and rich
tradition and providing much material both for adoption and
controversy in the seventeenth century and beyond. Most of the
selections translated in this volume are from 'On the Laws and God
the Law-Giver (De legibus ac Deo legislatore, 1612)', a work that
is considered one of Suarez' greatest achievements. Working within
the framework originally elaborated by Thomas Aquinas, Suarez
treated humanity as the subject of four different laws, which
together guide human beings toward the ends of which they are
capable. Suarez achieved a double objective in his systematic
account of moral activity. First, he examined and synthesized the
entire scholastic heritage of thinking on this topic, identifying
the key issues of debate and the key authors who had formulated the
different positions most incisively. Second, he went beyond this
heritage of authorities to present a new account of human moral
action and its relationship to the law. Treading a fine line
between those to whom moral directives are purely a matter of
reason and those to whom they are purely a matter of a commanding
will, Suarez attempted to show how both human reason and the
command of the lawgiver dictate the moral space of human action.
