Abstract

Antonio Rubio, S.J., was a Jesuit philosopher who lived during Spain’s second scholasticism (1548–1615). A native of La Roda, Rubio, while still only a novice, was sent to the New World together with a number of other Jesuit missionaries. After his final religious profession and ordination to the priesthood, Rubio remained in Mexico where he taught both philosophy and theology. His Logica Mexicana bears the name of his adopted homeland and became a quick success among various Jesuit colleges where it was adopted as an official text. Eventually Rubio returned to Spain to assume administrative responsibilities within the Society of Jesus. He died in Alcalá in 1615.
