Three Essays on the Times and Work of Tomás de Mercado
The purpose of this edition is to provide an English translation of three essays about Tomás de Mercado’s book, Deals and Contracts of Merchants and Traders. This translation has been made from the 1569 edition of the book published in Salamanca. The book was later the object of new editions and it was expanded by two more chapters, with an Italian translation appearing in 1571. However, an English edition had never been made before. The 1569 edition is composed of four Books: the first dedicated to merchants and their contracts, the second to currency and loans, the third to usury and the fourth to the question of the obligation of restitution when a reprehensible action is committed.
The Power of the Dispersed
Early modern travelers often did not form part of classic ‘diaspora’ communities: they frequently never really settled, perhaps remaining abroad for some time in one place, then traveling further; not ‘blown by the wind,’ but by changing and complex conditions that often turned out to make them unwelcome anywhere. The dispersed developed strategies of survival by keeping their distance from old and new temporary ‘homes,’ as well as by using information from and manipulating foreign representations of their former countries. This volume assembles case studies from the Mediterranean context, the Americas and Japan. They explore what kind of ‘power(s)’ and agency dispersed people had, counterintuitively, through the connections they maintained with their former homes, and through those they established abroad. Contributors: Eduardo Angione, Iordan Avramov, Marloes Cornelissen, David Do Paço, José Luis Egío, Maria-Tsampika Lampitsi, Paula Manstetten, Simon Mills, David Nelson, Adolfo Polo y La Borda, Ana M. Rodríguez-Rodríguez, Cesare Santus, Stefano Saracino, and Cornel Zwierlein.

Law and Apocalypse: The Moral Thought of Luis De León (1527?–1591)
This book has two purposes. The first is clearly historical, the second is more philosophical and interpretive. Its success in the former will be less arguable than its attainment of the latter. The contribution to the history of Spanish letters consists in critically establishing the fact that the sources of Fray Luis de Le6n's moral and spiritual thought are Hebraic and that he can be seen to stand as one in a long line of Christian Hebraists, both scholastic and humanist. His philosophical views are cast in an Hebraic tradition, not in an Hellenic one as supposed by nearly every other commentator. I have stressed the presence of a living Hebrew culture in Spain after 1492, and I have sugg...
The Role of History in Latin American Philosophy
This book brings the history of Latin American philosophy to an English-speaking audience through the prominent voices of Mauricio Beuchot, Horacio Cerutti-Guldberg, María Luisa Femenías, Jorge J. E. Gracia, Oscar R. Martí, León Olivé, Carlos Pereda, and Eduardo Rabossi. They argue that Spanish is not a philosophically irrelevant language and that there are original positions to be found in the work of Latin American philosophers. Part I of the book looks at why the history of philosophy has not developed in Latin America. A range of theoretical issues are explored, each focusing on specific problems that have hindered the development of a solid history. Part II details the complex task of writing a history of philosophy for a region still haunted by the specter of colonialism.
Economía y economistas andaluces
En este libro se hace un recorrido por la economía andaluza desde el siglo XVI hasta el XX, de la mano de sus principales protagonistas en el ámbito del pensamiento económico -desde Tomás de Mercado a Alfonso García Barbancho- que han sido seleccionados por ser andaluces de nacimiento o por su estrecha vinculación con Andalucía. Con espíritu crítico y denuncia de las injusticias, se recogen en esta obra sus principales aportaciones teóricas y recomendaciones para fomentar el desarrollo económico y el bienestar material, tanto de los andaluces como del conjunto de los ciudadanos españoles. En total se presentan 34 biografías y 10 estudios introductorios, distribuidos en los cinco capítulos que componen este volumen. Para ello se ha contado con destacados especialistas en las materias tratadas, procedentes de catorce universidades españolas y una portuguesa, lo que ha permitido que por primera vez se recojan en una publicación las biografías de los economistas andaluces más destacados en 500 años de historia.
