Suárez, Francisco de
(1548–1617)
. Christian theologian and philosopher. He was born in Granada, in Spain, and became a
Jesuit
in 1564. He was ordained in 1572, and, apart from five years in Rome, spent his life teaching in Spanish universities. In philosophical theology, he developed a position (especially in
Disputationes Metaphysicae
, 1597, Disputed Issues in Metaphysics), which is sometimes called after him ‘Suarism’ or ‘Suarezianism’. He maintained, with the Jesuits against the
Dominicans
, that God does not create the acts of individuals, but rather gives them the special graces (
gratia congrua
, from which this position is known as ‘congruism’) which, by his foreknowledge, he knows they will need. He was called by Paul V ‘doctor eximius et pius’.
