Resumen
BEUCHOT, Mauricio. Friar Alonso de la Vera Cruz, Philosophical Thought Profile. Nova tellus [online]. 2011, vol.29, n.2, pp.201-214. ISSN 0185-3058.
This article aims at giving an overview over the philosophy of Friar Alonso de la Vera Cruz, one of the first Spanish Augustinian monks who came to New Spain (16th c.) as a teacher. His philosophical teaching spans logic, physics and social ethics. His philosophy course, the first in the New World, was dedicated to logic and physics and was printed by Juan Pablos in 1554. His social ethics can be found in his works De dominio infidelium, Speculum coniugiorum amongst others. He taught in the Augustinian colleges founded by him, as well as in the newly created Mexican University. His teaching was on a par with that of the best European scholars.
