| General note | Jesuit Luis de Molina [1535-1600], in his work De Iustitia et iure [On Justice and Rights] discusses the legal and ethical aspects of the Portuguese trade in African and Asian enslaved persons. Molina surveys, develops, and problematizes the criteria necessary for the legitimate possession, sale and purchase of human freedom...While Molina does not condemn slavery as a legal institution, the deeply flawed and even immoral behavior of sellers, buyers, regulators, and political rulers both in Portugal and in the slave-supplying regions that Molina denouces casts a heavy shadow on the morality of the trade. -- from the flyleaf. |
