LECON, Mauricio. Is Francisco Suárez a Defender of Common Ownership? Eduardo Nicol’s Interpretation Revisited. Diánoia [online]. 2017, vol.62, n.78, pp.183-201. ISSN 0185-2450.

In this paper I revisit Eduardo Nicol’s interpretation of Suarez’s theory of property. To this purpose, I present Suárez’s account of property and private property focusing on two main aspects. The first is whether property and private property are rights; the second is whether they belong to the human nature or not. Finally, I argue that Nicol’s reading of Suárez is untenable for it can hardly be accepted that Suárez defended some kind of communism.

Keywords : private property; property; dominium; right; natural law.
