Explicitly written to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Portuguese carnation revolution, the paper aims at following, presenting and explaining the historiographical motif known as the “juridical conscience of the University of Coimbra” as far as it relates to Francisco Suárez’s work, De Legibus. Without confusing the anthropological and political dimension of Suarez's proposal with the interpretation made by the 20th century Portuguese politician Mário Soares on Suárez and the latter’s theory of the origin of political power, the paper highlights a connection between the two topics and the two authors, viz. the imperative of human liberation as the response to any advancement of the relative as absolute.
