Projections of Spanish Jesuit Scholasticism on British Thought
Spanish Jesuits such as Francisco Suárez (1548–1617), José de Acosta (1540–1600), Pedro de Ribadeneira (1526-1611) and Juan de Mariana (1536-1624) had a powerful impact on English thinkers of the magnitude of John Locke (1632–1704), Francis Bacon (1561-1626), Robert Persons (1546-1610), Algernon Sidney (1623-1683), and, later, William Robertson (1721–1793), Thomas de Quincey (1785–1859) and Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953).

The Economic Thought of Hilaire Belloc
Hilaire Belloc’s thinking on the economy constitutes, by its originality and acuity, a heterodox approach of the greatest interest in addressing the economic problems of his time and those of our own. Belloc’s main interest as a writer were on economics and history, and his works were praised by economists such as F. A. Hayek or Wilhelm Röpke and political philosophers such as Robert Nisbet and Russell Kirk, but his contributions have been often overlooked. To address that oversight, this book inserts Belloc ́s ideas into the academic dialogue on economics. Despite not being a trained economist, Belloc developed his thought based on a coherent system rooted in original elements such as...
La Monarquía indiana de Carlos II en la encrujiada
A finales del siglo XVII, la América española no sufrió ninguna crisis destinada a la decadencia de su Imperio. El presente libro analiza las causas y consecuencias de los cambios políticos que llevó a cabo Carlos II en uno de los reinos más poderosos de su patrimonio: el Perú. Desde una perspectiva inédita, este trabajo estudia cómo la América hispánica fue precursora en las reformas sobre las cortes virreinales, que provocó un punto de inflexión en el paradigma de gobierno y articulación de los reinos en la distancia. Desde entonces, la Monarquía hispánica basculó sus intereses hacia América reconfigurando sus territorios, lo que no solo le llevó a luchar por su resiliencia, sino a afianzar su protagonismo en la política internacional que heredó la dinastía borbónica.
Menschenrechte und Metaphysik
Als erstes deutschsprachiges Sammelwerk seit über 100 Jahren widmet sich dieser Band den zwei Grundthemen des spanischen Philosophen und Theologen Francisco Suárez SJ (1548–1617), die seine heutige Rezeption beherrschen: der Metaphysik und der Rechtstheorie. Die Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger diskutieren Suárez als den einflussreichen Denker neuzeitlicher europäischer Schulmetaphysik sowie als Repräsentanten einer globalen Rechtsphilosophie und Ethik. Zur Debatte steht zudem die Vereinbarung von Theorie und Praxis angesichts der Frage, welche Verbindlichkeit eine universale Erste Philosophie heute beanspruchen kann. Der Band wird durch eine einführende Skizze zu Suárez' Werken und V...

Extremophiles as Astrobiological Models
The data in this book are new or updated, and will serve also as Origin of Life and evolutionary studies. Endospores of bacteria have a long history of use as model organisms in astrobiology, including survival in extreme environments and interplanetary transfer of life. Numerous other bacteria as well as archaea, lichens, fungi, algae and tiny animals (tardigrades, or water bears) are now being investigated for their tolerance to extreme conditions in simulated or real space environments. Experimental results from exposure studies on the International Space Station and space probes for up to 1.5 years are presented and discussed. Suggestions for extaterrestrial energy sources are also indicated. Audience Researchers and graduate students in microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and astrobiology, as well as anyone interested in the search for extraterrestrial life and its technical preparations.
