Resumo (PT): ES: La cuestión de si existe o no un vestigio de libertad en los animales irracionales ha estado presente a lo largo de todas las etapas de la historia de la filosofía. Sin embargo, en el siglo XVI, los jesuitas profundizaron sus estudios sobre este tema de una manera bastante particular. En este artículo mostraremos cómo, al señalar la posibilidad de encontrar un vestigio de libertad en los animales irracionales, los jesuitas trataron de identificar la base misma del concepto de libertad, para dejar claro que, si bien se pueden encontrar signos de libertad en algunos niveles desarrollados de la vida irracional, la libertad es, de una manera muy singular, la característica fundamental de los seres humanos. En este artículo analizamos las doctrinas jesuitas sobre la libertad animal que se pueden encontrar en textos, tanto publicados como manuscritos, de las enseñanzas de dos jesuitas que trabajaron en Portugal durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVI: Pedro da Fonseca y Luis de Molina.
Abstract (EN): The question of whether or not there is a vestige of freedom in irrational animals has been present throughout all the stages of the history of philosophy. Yet, in the sixteenth century, the Jesuits deepened their studies on this subject in a rather particular way. In this paper we will show how, by pointing to the possibility of finding a trace of freedom in irrational animals, the Jesuits sought to identify the very basis of the concept of freedom, to make it clear that, while signs of freedom can be found in some developed levels of irrational life, freedom is, in a most singular way, the fundamental characteristic of human beings. In this paper we analyze the Jesuit doctrines on animal freedom that can be found in texts, either published or handwritten, from the teachings of two Jesuits who worked in Portugal during the second half of the 16th century: Pedro da Fonseca and Luis de Molina.
