Luis de Molina 1535 – 1600

Luis de Molina (1535 – 1600) was a Spanish philosopher of the Modern era, associated with Scholasticism, Christian Philosophy, and Renaissance.

Luis de Molina was a Spanish Jesuit philosopher and theologian of the School of Salamanca and one of the most influential figures of late scholasticism. After many years of teaching at Coimbra and Evora and a final professorship at Madrid, he produced the Concordia Liberi Arbitrii cum Gratiae Donis, the Concord of Free Will with the Gifts of Grace, in which he developed the celebrated doctrine of middle knowledge: God knows from eternity what every possible creature would freely do in every possible circumstance. His Concordia provoked the long de Auxiliis controversy with the Dominicans and remains a central reference point in the philosophy of religion and metaphysics of free will. His treatise On Justice and Right shaped early modern economic and legal thought.
