SIEPM Project “Second Scholasticism”: Scholastica colonialis

This article presents the research project “Scholastica colonialis: Reception and Development of Baroque Scholasticism in Latin America in the Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries.” Scholastica colonialis is an integrated project of international co-operation among five research groups in Brazil, Peru, Chile, Portugal and Spain. The project has recently been awarded financial support by CAPES, one of the most important Brazilian agencies supporting research. The scholars in the project intend to catalogue the early-modern Scholastic materials in Latin American libraries, which will be the foundation of a long-term and exhaustive investigation of the development of Baroque Scholastic philosophy in Latin America during the colonial period.
