Abstract: In this paper I present the theory of natural rights and liberty of Bartolome de Las Casas. I hold that the theoretical foundation of Las Casas is found in juridical texts, only complemented by Thomist authorities. I show that the apparent inconsistencies were a means to make his discourse more effective against those who defended the enslavement of Native Americans. Finally, this eclecticism enabled Las Casas to create an original theory of civil power and liberty by using Canon law texts and terms.
V prispevku avtor predstavi teorijo o naravnih pravicah in svobodi Bartoloméja de las Casasa. Meni, da Las Casasove teoretske osnove najdemo v pravnih besedilih, ki jih je dopolnil le s tomističnimi viri. Avtor pokaže, da so Las Casasove navidezne nedoslednosti delovale kot sredstvo za povečevanje učinkovitosti diskurza proti tistim, ki so zagovarjali zasužnjevanje staroselcev. Eklekticizem pa je Las Casasu omogočil, da s posluževanjem besedil in terminov kanonskega prava oblikuje izvirno teorijo o civilni oblasti in svobodi.
