Francisco Suárez
Francisco Suárez (; 5 January 1548 – 25 September 1617) was a Spanish
Jesuit priest,
philosopher and
theologian, one of the leading figures of the
School of Salamanca movement. His work is considered a turning point in the history of
second scholasticism, marking the transition from its Renaissance to its
Baroque phases. According to Christopher Shields and Daniel Schwartz, "figures as distinct from one another in place, time, and philosophical orientation as
Leibniz,
Grotius,
Pufendorf,
Schopenhauer and
Heidegger, all found reason to cite him as a source of inspiration and influence."
