# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Francisco Suárez was born on 5 January 1548 in Spain and became a Jesuit priest, philosopher, and theologian embedded in the School of Salamanca movement. His work marked the hinge between the Renaissance and Baroque phases of second scholasticism, a shift that reshaped how Europe thought about law, metaphysics, and the structure of reality. The breadth of his influence is strange: figures as different as Leibniz, Grotius, Pufendorf, Schopenhauer, and Heidegger all cited him as a source of inspiration, pulling from his texts across wildly different projects. He died on 25 September 1617, leaving a body of thought dense enough that philosophers are still mining it.
