Abstract

The aim of this contribution is to show the theory of justice of the Dominican Pedro de Ledesma (1544-1616), expositively and following step by step the ideas contained in the pages of one of his most important works, the Suma Moral (Salamanca, 1598). In this contribution we will see how the Dominican deals with the concept of justice and, at the same time, how he attributes to moral action the dependence on that concept. To this purpose, some sections of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth treatises of the second part of the Suma, which deal respectively with justice, legal justice, distributive justice and commutative justice, will be taken into account.
