Brill has published a companion
to early modern Spanish imperial political and social thought.
ABOUT THE BOOK
This Companion aims to give an
up-to-date overview of the historical context and the conceptual framework of
Spanish imperial expansion during the early modern period, mostly during the
16th century. It intends to offer a nuanced and balanced account of the
complexities of this historically controversial period analyzing first its
historical underpinnings, then shedding light on the normative language behind
imperial theorizing and finally discussing issues that arose with the
experience of the conquest of American polities, such as colonialism, slavery
or utopia. The aim of this volume is to uncover the structural and normative
elements of the theological, legal and philosophical arguments about Spanish
imperial ambitions in the early modern period.
Contributors are Manuel Herrero Sánchez, José Luis Egío, Christiane Birr, Miguel Anxo Pena González, Tamar Herzog, Merio Scattola, Virpi Mäkinen, Wim Decock, Christian Schäfer, Francisco Castilla Urbano, Daniel Schwartz, Felipe Castañeda, José Luis Ramos Gorostiza, Luis Perdices de Blas, Beatriz Fernández Herrero.
