In general, Modern discourse is useful for a proper analysis of Molina's rights-based legal theory, which, in turn, proves to be Modern. Thus, some elements of the present rights debate, for example between election theorists and interest theorists, are discussed with reference to Molina by showing how he uses ius in the sense of law as the basis of his legal theory. A central role is given to the concept of dominium, which helps to clarify what rights human beings can have and where their limits lie. At the same time, the way Molina uses that term also limits the power of human authorities over individuals, without claiming a human right to inalienable freedom: a person's freedom belongs to his dominium, so he can sell himself as a slave in certain circumstances. El concepto de derecho de Luis de Molina muestra semejanzas con aspectos del pensamiento de R. Dworkin. En general, el discurso moderno es útil para realizar un análisis adecuado de la teoría legal basada en derechos de Molina, la cual, a su vez, se revela como moderna. Por ello algunos elementos del debate presente sobre derechos, por ejemplo entre teóricos de la elección y teóricos del interés, son discutidos con referencia a Molina demostrando de qué modo él hace uso del ius en el sentido de derecho como base de su teoría legal. Un papel central se otorga al concepto de dominium, que ayuda a clarificar qué derechos pueden tener los seres humanos y dónde están sus límites. Al mismo tiempo, la manera como Molina usa ese término también limita el poder de las autoridades humanas sobre individuos, sin reivindicar un derecho humano a la libertad inalienable: la libertad de una persona pertenece a su dominium, por lo tanto ella puede venderse a sí misma como esclava en ciertas circunstancias. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7381 eng Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7381/6633 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 38 (2017); 19-32 2683-9636 Luis de Molina Dworkin dominium libertad derechos Luis de Molina Dworkin Dominium Freedom Rights Luis de Molina on Rights as Limits for Legislation info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=7381_oai
