El espacio de los derechos en el pensamiento tardoescolástico. Una perspectiva iushistorica

Late-scholastic thought developed in a complex historical phase in which the universality of the Respublica Christiana was challenged by two novel problems of opposite sign: the discovery of America opened to Christianity a sphere of expansion towards a new world; the religious Reformation in Europe, however, dre boundaries limits within the Christian world. In the framework of the studies of the late scholastics the problem of legal-protection regimes arises, and the new horizon of individual rights is explored. This article tries to analyze this original construction of legal-protection regimes, and to understand the legal space that it configures, and to assess what relevance the issue of rights has within the framework of the discursive strategies of the late scholastics in legal topics.
