Luigi Taparelli SJ (born Prospero Taparelli d'Azeglio; 24 November 1793 – 2 September 1862) was an Italian scholar of the Society of Jesus and counter-revolutionary who coined the term social justice and elaborated the principles of subsidiarity as part of his natural law theory of just social order.[1][2][3] He was the brother of the Italian statesman Massimo d'Azeglio.[4]
