Francisco Suarez

He was a Spanish priest, philosopher and theologian. He was regarded as the greatest living philosopher and theologian; He was also one of the most important figures of the School of Salamanca movement. He was not only regarded amongst the greatest scholastics after Thomas Aquinas, but is to date considered the father of international law. And this of course, he enjoyed; the reputation of being the greatest metaphysician of his time. He wrote on a wide multiplicity of areas of interest, generating a superb sum of work. His writings include treatises on law, the relationship between church and state, metaphysics, and theology. His works were widely read in Europe during the seventeenth century and is still considered by some scholars to be his most profound work. His metaphysics was the comprehension of actual extract (and existence); it was typically apprehensive with real being rather than conceptual being. One of the main attractions was his metaphysical work. That was by a remarkable effort of his systematization, which is still considered to be the real history of medieval reflection which was a combination of the three schools available at that time: Thomism, Scotism and Nominalism. He was also a profound observer of Arabic or high medieval works.
