LA PRUDENCIA O «EL ARTE DE BIEN VIVIR» (Y GOBERNAR) EN LA OBRA DEL JESUITA LUIS DE LA PUENTE

Abstract

The works of Luis de la Puente are fundamentally framed in ascetic and moral theology. However, within his text about social status and the path of virtue that everyone can walk in their lives, the Jesuit set apart a space to meditate on the government in general. He identified politics with prudence and, in his pages, the religious presented how it could make the world a better place through Catholic ethics and morals.
