- PublicationOpen AccessMaquiavelo en Saavedra Fajardo (Las sombras de la virtud)(2015-09-23) Hermosa Andújar, AntonioUnintentionally, Saavedra develops his political doctrine, even from the election of the political subject itself, as opposed to the guidelines stated by Machiavelli. The immanent presence of ethics and religion as active parts of the above mentioned doctrine indicates so. However, in describing the behaviour the Spanish monarch should pursue in a political sphere, Saavedra discovers and ends up owning that spheres considered complementary at first, have become antagonistic. And by accepting how politics sometimes survive only by infringing the dictates of ethics, he ends up becoming as well another member of Machiavelli's large critical wake turned loyal disciples at the end.
- PublicationOpen AccessEl orden de la guerra en Saavedra Fajardo(2015-09-23) Egío, VictorThe present article examines the considerations about war in Saavedra Fajardo's thinking, marked in the context contemporary to him that included both the Flanders' and the Thirty-Year's Wars. These are organised around three different axes: the law of those who make war (military discipline), ius in bello (law of war), ius ad bellum (just war). The just cause, inseparably linked to Spain's intended job as guarantor of European peace, arbitrator and police at once, as well as the rumour of a resigned universal control, manifest the vitality of the Spanish imperial sovereignty project in the Fajardian thinking. Completing the image of a tacitistic Saavedra with this of an imperial Saavedra is fundamental to globally understand his political thinking in the context of transit that is his own.
