Restitution as a duty of justice in Tomás de Mercado
Vol 18, No 3 (2017) • Filosofia Unisinos - Unisinos Journal of Philosophy
Autor: Alfredo Culleton
Resumo:
After briefly introducing the theme of penalty and punishment in the tradition of the First and Second Scholasticism, we seek to show the development that Tomás de Mercado (1525-1575) makes of the concept of restitution in his Suma de Tratos e Contratos written in 1571. In it he defends restitution as an imperative of justice that binds in consciousness and which cannot be dispensed by any power since it is a mandate of natural law.
