In this review article I discuss the positive contributions of recent Anglo-American Suarez scholarship, but also some of its deficiencies. The overall tendency is always to present Suarez as the last medieval philosopher and to neglect post-Suarezian scholastic culture as a topic worthy of study for its own sake, not just as the background for modern philosophy. This historiographical distortion needs to be overcome if we are to arrive at a more adequate account of the scholastic philosophy of the seventeenth century.

Suarez's conception of the principle of individuation of accidents and its relationship to the Thomistic solution is the main theme of the paper. In the first part, the author briefly recapitulates Suarez solution to the individuality and individuation of substances. In the second part he presents two main conceptions of the principle of individuation of accidents: substance and entitative theory of individuation. He presents four reasons for the entitative theory which are given by Suarez. In the third, the most ample part, he shows that Suarez argues that the Thesis of simultaneous co-existence of two mere numerically different accidents in the same subject can be valid, at least, in the case of respective accidents (relations). If it is not valid in the case of absolute accidents, then it is, according to Suarez, not because of the incompatible principle of individuation of accidents, but because of the fact that 'nature abhors futility'. Besides, he shows that God's absolute potence towards numerical multiplication of qualities cannot be restricted by certain natural principles of intensification and remission of qualities. In the last part, the author shows that if it is not contradictory that two mere numerically different accidents can co-exist in the same subject, it is 'a fortiori' valid about the Thesis of successive existence of the two mere numerically different accidents in the same subject.

This essay is an analysis of the theory of human rights based on the writings of Thomas Aquinas, with special reference to the Summa Theologiae. The difference between a jus naturale found in Aquinas and the theory of human rights developed by the sixteenth century scholastic philosophers is articulated. The distinction between objective natural rights—“what is right”—and subjective natural rights—“a right”—is discussed noting that Aquinas held the former position and that later scholastic philosophers beginning with the Salamanca School of the Second Scholasticism developed the latter position. The subjective theory of rights evolved into the modern and contemporary account of individual human rights. The essay ends with an argument suggesting that Aquinas’s theory of objective human rights can serve as the ontological foundation for a robust theory of both positive and negative subjective natural rights.
