Juan de SepĂșlveda was a Spanish humanist and philosopher who played a significant role in the early modern period of Spanish history. He was born in AlcalĂĄ de Henares in 1490 and was educated at the University of Salamanca, where he studied theology and law. SepĂșlveda became interested in the works of classical philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle, and he used their ideas to develop his own philosophy of human nature and political theory.
SepĂșlveda was a defender of the Spanish conquest of the New World and the colonization of the Americas. He argued that the indigenous peoples of the Americas were inferior to Europeans and that it was the duty of the Spanish to bring civilization and Christianity to these "barbarous" lands. SepĂșlveda argued that the conquest and colonization of the Americas were justified because they were in the best interests of the indigenous peoples, who would benefit from the introduction of European culture and religion.
Despite his controversial views on the conquest and colonization of the Americas, SepĂșlveda was an influential figure in the history of Spanish philosophy. His ideas on human nature and political theory were widely discussed and debated, and he helped to shape the philosophical landscape of the early modern period in Spain.
