Abstract

The Renaissance period is the manifestation of conflicting and diverse ideas. Philosophers, writers, artists, politicians were each a combination of classical and modern times. The thinkers of this period were also the manifestation of this transitional period. The political philosophers of this period, from Machiavelli to Hobbes, played a prominent role in grounding the view of politics. If these philosophers were the peak of political philosophy of this period, there were other philosophers who are known as the slopes of this mountain of modern philosophy, and with a better understanding of their thought, our understanding of the foundations of modern philosophy becomes clearer. Francisco Suarez was one of those philosophers who had both his feet in Christian theology and his heart in modern philosophy. His thought is the manifestation of political thought from heaven to earth. In this article, with the aim of getting to know the political thought of this Spanish philosopher, it seeks to answer the question of how the concept of law was defined in Suarez's thought and what effect this thought had on the transition to It has been ruled by the people. The researched method will be based on the context-text oriented method of Skinner.
