Luis de Molina (29 September 1535 to 12 October 1600) was a Spanish Jesuit priest, jurist, economist and theologian who worked within the second scholasticism of the School of Salamanca. Born in Castile to a noble family, he studied law at Salamanca, joined the Jesuits in 1553, and taught philosophy and theology at Coimbra and Évora. His Concordia set out Molinism, a theory of divine grace and human freedom that uses middle knowledge, God's knowledge of what free creatures would do in any circumstance, to hold that human choice is real even though God foresees it. Dominican critics led by Domingo Báñez attacked him, and a papal commission sat on the dispute from 1597 to 1607. His De iure et iustitia also shaped early economic thought on property and human action.
