    CONCIENCIA LIBRE Y "LEY NATURAL" EN EL CALVINISMO Y MOLINISMO
    (2015-09-23) Martínez Valle, Carlos
    The author states that Molina's and the Jesuits' catholic theory -focused on a particular circumstancialism and legal casuistry- was better prepared to defend the free conscience and autonomy of human beings than the law's rigorism characteristic of Calvinists, who thought free conscience could easily lead to fanaticism, something that the Jesuit flexibility did not allow. However, Jesuit thinking was not therefore less exposed to the final lack of coherence. This detail prevented free conscience in them and in the Spanish catholic thinking from evolving into its modern shape, that of freedom of conscience.

    Looking for democracy in fiduciary government. Historical notes on an unsettled relationship (ca. 1520-1650)
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2020) Guerrero, David
    Abstract: A recent perspective on the normative foundations of public law has proposed to conceive citizen-state relationships as a “fiduciary relationship”, using private-law fiduciary duties to justify legal and moral constrains on state power. Fiduciary government has also been pointed as a distinct feature of republicanism and popular sovereignty, since it places the political community as trustor and beneficiary of any administrative act. This paper reviews some early modern conceptions of government considering their explicit fiduciary justifications. It concludes with a fiduciary account of Leveller natural law, especially needed to understand (and maybe to restore) the relationship between fiduciary government and democracy.
