Abstract

Domingo de Soto, O.P., was a member of the Order of Preachers and, like many of his order brothers, was a devoted follower of Thomas Aquinas. Born in Segovia in 1494, Soto studied at various universities in Spain as well as in Paris before assuming a chair teaching philosophy at the University of Complutense. The Dominican was a major player in the Council of Trent which gave him the occasion to author his De natura et gratia, in which Soto attempted to address the errors of his Lutheran opponents. He also made contributions to logic, the philosophy of nature, and moral-political philosophy with his publications: In dialecticam Aristotelis, Super octo libros Physicorum commentaria, Super octo libros Physicorum quaestiones, and De iustitia et iure. Soto died in 1560 in Salamanca.
