La naturalidad del dominio humano sobre las cosas en Alfonso de Madrigal

Abstract

This paper deals with the theory of human dominion over the things what we can found in the fifteenth century Salamanca’s Professor Alfonso de Madrigal, «el Tostado». Madrigal is the mainly author of a renewal at the University of Salamanca, called «humanist». In his comments on Genesis and Chronicles, Madrigal has a theory of the problem of dominion, asking how can be human being owner, the relationship and subordination of the domain to the full and primary domain –what it is in God, the governor of creation–, the question of positivity and naturality or human appropriation, the incardination of dominion in the intelligence and prudence, with which man can give a new order to reality and he can submitted things by divine donation and grant.
