Abstract
The scope of the present paper is to point out the novelty that Alfonso de Castro introduces in his thinking about human law from his reading of the Franciscan tradition, especially of Duns Scotus. The context is that of the discovery of the New (American) World and the establishment of a New World of Modernity. For this he insists on the fundamental freedom of the human being, reflection and image of God, in his understanding but above all in his will, as an element in the promulgation of the laws of men.
