Este trabajo muestra cómo es la singular noción de soberanía papal postulada por Francisco de Vitoria en el ámbito eclesiástico la que articula su teoría conciliar, equidistante de las doctrinas radicales tanto del papalismo como del conciliarismo sorbonista. Una teoría de corte moderado y reformista, opuesta al absolutismo político, que apunta elementos capitales para la configuración jurídica de un modelo de gobierno limitado

Dans cet article, l’auteur s’intéresse au regard que le théologien Francisco de Vitoria porte sur la colonisation espagnole. Il s’appuie sur des extraits de la Leçon sur la tempérance et de la Leçon sur les Indiens pour mettre en lumière les interrogations de Vitoria sur les modalités de la présence espagnole en Amérique et sur la légitimité de cette domination. Pour Vitoria, les Indiens sont des hommes comme les autres qui ne manquent pas de ressemblances avec les Européens. Il convient donc de ne pas leur causer de préjudice et de leur apporter des bienfaits matériels et humains en les détournant des sacrifices humains et de l’anthropophagie et en les amenant au christianisme. L’auteur propose ensuite la traduction inédite d’un fragment de la Leçon sur la tempérance où Vitoria se demande s’il est permis de faire la guerre aux Indiens sous prétexte qu’ils se livrent à l’anthropophagie et aux sacrifices humains.

Internal Effect

This chapter explores the doctrine of the providential function of commerce in the work of Francisco de Vitoria (c. 1492–1546), Alberico Gentili (1552–1608), and Hugo Grotius (1583–1645). In this chapter, I argue that the doctrine’s persuasive power lies in the interplay between two factors. First is the fact that while the doctrine is not in origin a religious doctrine, its elements and its narrative logic carried an unmistakable religious sensibility that became indissolubly associated with international trade. But the doctrine’s true efficacy lies in a more subtle internal effect. In essence, the doctrine, which holds at its core an act of exchange among distant peoples, allowed its adherents to idealize international trade by blurring the distinction between the act of commercial exchange and that of gift-exchange. In this manner, international exchange came to be portrayed as an act of friendship and community recognition, rather than a commercial act between strangers.

Francisco De Vitoria

In 1538–39 Francisco de Vitoria delivered two relections: De Indis and De iure belli. This article distills from these writings the topic of free trade as a “human right” in accordance with ius gentium or the “law of peoples.” The right to free trade is rooted in a more fundamental right to communication and association. The rights to travel, to dwell, and to migrate precede the right to trade, which is also closely connected to the rights to preach, to protect converts, and to constitute Christian princes. This has significant repercussions on the field of business ethics: the right to free trade is ultimately founded directly on natural law and indirectly on divine law; trade is not independent of ethics; and trade is presented as an opportunity to develop the virtues of justice and friendship, among other repercussions. Vitoria is portrayed as a defender of private initiative and free markets.

Christian Message

The notion of accommodation, or the adaptation of one’s message to one’s audience, has been regarded as a central feature of the Jesuit way of proceeding at least since the seventeenth century. In recent years, scholars have come to understand accommodation as a rhetorical principle, which—while rooted in the rules of classical oratory—permeated all the works and ministries performed by the Jesuits of the Old Society. By comparing the theoretical notions about accommodation and the advantages and risks of adapting both the Christian message to native cultures and vice versa, this paper shows how and under what conditions the Jesuit missionaries were able to translate this rhetorical principle into a proselytizing praxis. By focusing on the examples of José de Acosta in Peru, Matteo Ricci in China, and of those Jesuits working in the missions in Paraguay and Chile, this essay will show how the needs in the missionary field superseded and overruled the theoretical requirements set beforehand. They revealed the ways in which the political and cultural context in which the missionaries operated determined the negotiations needed in order to achieve a common ground with their would-be converts if their mission was going to happen at all.
