Abstract

In this article we address some of the challenges that a global constitutionalism faces today in the pursuit of cosmopolitan justice: legal pluralism beyond the legal and cultural monism of the modern state, sociodiversity and interculturality, and the socio-ecological sustainability of legally legitimised ways of life. To this end, we will consider how the ScholasticCatholic tradition of Early Modernity understands the demands of the commons that permeate all juridical phenomena in collective life and among peoples, with specific attention to some key contributions of Francisco Suárez. On the other hand, as a counterpoint to Catholic scholastic humanism, we will deal with the vision of liberal Modernity, which proposes a univocal and ahistorical rational model of configuration of both the demands of justice among peoples and the mode of property, which is identified with a single form of individual property detached from the demands of the common good. © 2024 Departamento de Literatura Española-Universidad de Sevilla.
