Spanish Universalist School of the 18th century

The Spanish Universalist School of the 18th century (Spanish: "Escuela Universalista Española del siglo XVIII") (also labelled "Hispanic", or "Hispano-Italian", known as "Spanish Universalist School") is mainly defined by Juan Andrés, Lorenzo Hervás and Antonio Eximeno as the main Authors, but also by his close collaborators: the botanist Antonio José Cavanilles and the great Americanists Francisco Javier Clavijero (Nueva España- at the moment Mexico), José Celestino Mutis (Colombia), Juan Ignacio Molina (Chili), Joaquín Camaño (Argentina), Francisco Javier Alegre and Rafael Landívar, Junípero Serra (California), the Philippine Juan de la Concepción or Miguel Casiri, a Lebanese-born Arabic-language expert. This school is about a culminating universal humanistic science project, both in a culminating sense of the disciplines as in a geographic-cultural sense of the world through the convergence of tradition of classical humanism with modern empirical science.
