Omnipotencia y orden. Una reevaluación del voluntarismo de Francisco Suárez

This article seeks to interrogate the interpretation of Francisco Suárez as a voluntarist author. To do so, we will examine Suárez’s approach to legislative action, taking the concept of potentia or power, which will be analysed in the different norma-tive orders in which it can be found. Thus, we will follow the demands of explanatory completeness that the Suarist system presupposes, devoting a section to the power of the people, another to the power of the political authority, and, finally, a section devoted to the question of divine power; whether divine omnipotence is over the order of reality, and whether God can command the absurd, or whether, rather, reason is to the last instance the soul of the law.
