Juan Bautista Eleta is an Argentine academic associated with the Universidad Católica Argentina, where he has developed his intellectual career within the fields of the humanities and social sciences, with a particular focus on legal and political thought and the tradition of Christian humanism.
His education and scholarly work are rooted in contemporary Catholic thought and maintain a sustained dialogue with classical philosophy—especially the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition—while addressing the normative, ethical, and cultural challenges of modernity. In this context, Eleta has shown a consistent interest in the foundations of legal order, the concept of the person, natural law, and the relationship between law, morality, and politics.
Through his academic work, he has contributed to the intellectual formation of students and young scholars, advocating for an integral understanding of legal knowledge that goes beyond strict legal positivism. His approach incorporates philosophical, historical, and axiological dimensions, emphasizing that law cannot be fully understood in isolation from broader conceptions of the human person and social life.
Intellectually, Juan Bautista Eleta can be situated among thinkers who seek to reconcile faith and reason, tradition and modernity, theory and practice. He understands law as a cultural reality deeply connected to human dignity and the common good. His career reflects the commitment of the Universidad Católica Argentina to rigorous academic inquiry, openness to plural debate, and a firmly grounded personalist and humanistic vision of the social and legal order.
