- Francisco Suárez: la natura, la grazia e la causa della libertà(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2014) Esposito, C. (Constantino)In 1599, Suarez wrote De concursu et efficaci auxilio Dei ad actus liberi arbitrii necessario in the context of the discussions of the issue of de auxiliis. This work presents the Suarezian philosophical and theological conception of causality, which has three parts: the necessity of efficient action in nature, freedom of the will, and the efficacy of the divine grace on human free will. The article also connects the doctrine of De concursu with the thesis contained in Disputatio XIX of 1596. Through this comparison it can be concluded that for Suarez divine grace does not determinate the act of the will but rather makes it possible. In other words, divine grace constitutes the very root of human liberty.
