A Thomistic Account of Human Free Will and Divine Providence: Pedro de Ledesma and the De Auxiliis Controversy
Pedro de Ledesma is one of the Dominican theologians of the School of Salamanca involved in the De Auxiliis controversy, i.e., the disputes around a famous book by Luis de Molina on the relation between divine foreknowledge and providence and our free will. Studying an unpublished manuscript by Ledesma and his 1611 book on this subject, the article shows that he opposed Molina with a Thomistic position that we call deflationary. According to this interpretation, God, in moving the created will to do good actions, does not bring about an entity distinct from volition itself. Contrary to other Thomists, he does not think that the immediate effect of the divine motion of the will is an intermediary entity used by God to produce, with the will, the created free act. Ledesma defends his thesis by using some elements of Aristotelian-Thomistic metaphysics, in particular, a minimalist interpretation of the relation between action and passion already present in Domingo de Soto and the specific causality of immanent acts.

Portuguese Translations of Thomas More's Utopia
This article examines two inevitable questions when one is writing on Utopia and Portugal: the fact that Raphael Hythloday was identified as being Portuguese and the reception of Utopia in Portugal, no doubt influenced by the fact that the book was forbidden by the Inquisition. It then examines in full detail the six translations of Thomas More's work into European Portuguese, from Agostinho da Silva's partial translation in 1946 to Aires do Nascimento's critical translation in 2006, reflecting on the circumstances of the reception of these translations in the framework of the Portuguese dictatorship.

Candide
Though he's the illegitimate nephew of a German baron, Candide grows up in a castle under the tutelage of the scholar Pangloss. Pangloss is so enraptured by the Enlightenment-an era of prosperity and intellectual growth-that he proclaims the world to be \"the best of all possible worlds.\" As an adult, Candide tries to cling to this optimistic philosophy despite experiencing a series of horrible misfortunes while striving to be reunited with the woman he loves. The French novel Candide satirizes the philosophies of the Enlightenment and humorously criticizes the nobility, religious viewpoints, and politics of the time. Voltaire-the pen name of French author Francois-Marie Arouet-first published his satire in 1759. This is an unabridged version of an English translation, published in 1918.
