Biography
At the time of the Controversy of Valladolid, he was opposed to the humane theories of the monk Bartolomé de Las Put aiming at limiting the use of the Amerindian like slaves.
Rather calm and posed, he is opposed to the tumultuous character of the monk Dominicain at the time of the Controverse of Valladolid. Controlling the logic of the Greek philosopher Aristote, it succeeds in carrying out which hears it on “the misty way of the comprehension” which becomes clear then like water of rock.
Sepùlveda was at the origin of the argument, because it wished to publish a theological work in the kingdom of Spain; it ran up then against many detractors who opposed his manner of seeing the world, for fear the publication of its book does not validate the theses which it defended, in particular the idea that the Indians are a race of men lower dedicated than slavery.
