Abstract

The world of Ignatius of Loyola. A natural and moral history

The reflection opened at the conclusion of the Congress focuses on Ignatius’ “world”: it interrogates the category of “world” from both a historical and
historiographical perspective. In recent decades, the word has been invested with new meanings that invite us to rethink the 16th century as a particular
historical moment in both the relations between Europe and other parts of the world, and the relations between humankind and nature. In this perspective, Ignatius’ “world” was confronted with a globe that had to be worked out as a new reality: a new world, because it was “encompassed”, as it was part of a construction in the making that mobilised both a new syntax and a new grammar of knowledge. It is a world in whose shaping Ignatius’s companions fully participate, along with other actors, through their unexpected confrontation with the multiple horizons that were redrawing the inhabited earth.
