Abstract

We are celebrating the fifth centenary of the beginning of Francisco de Vitoria's (1483-1546) teaching career and would like to recall three of Vitoria's legal contributions: first, the transition from Renaissance pagan humanism to Christian humanism; second, his legal anthropology based on Vitoria's concept of personhood; and finally, his contribution to the optimistic and humanistic approach to the market economy.
