Sobre Segunda Escolástica, Modernidad y Compañía de Jesús

This article presents and evaluates the recently published book by Rafael Ramis, entitled La Segunda Escolástica. Una pro- puesta de síntesis histórica. In addition, the article ventures new hypotheses in dialogue with said book, referring specifically to what Second Scholasticism is, assuming that this second character is not only due to the simple fact of its historical posteriority; to the intrin- sic modernity of this Scholasticism, given the Scotist and Ockhamist matrix from which it was born at the dawn of the 14th century; and to the relevant role that throughout the de- velopment of this Second Scholasticism was played by the authors of the Society of Jesus, a characteristically modern order, in a parti- cularly intense way in the practical sciences (ethics, law, politics and economics).
