Abstract

Francisco Suárez is a classic author of legal theory. This paper shows that the Suarez s work already contains elements that place him as precursor of the modern legal thought. This article highlights the value of the Suárez s seminal legal work De legibus, which advances the systematicity of law, abandoning a vision of law merely as isolated rules. This article also shows how the legal thought of Francisco de Suárez presents a connection between law and the social dimension as the precedent of the proposal of the contemporary legal institutionalism
