Description
The Philosophy of John Duns Scotus by Antonie Vos provides a detailed exploration of the ideas of John Duns Scotus, a medieval philosopher and theologian known for his contributions to metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. Vos systematically examines Scotus' key concepts, such as univocity of being, haecceity (thisness), and divine illumination, demonstrating their relevance to both medieval and contemporary philosophical debates. The book delves into Scotus’ arguments for the existence of God, his views on free will, and his departure from Thomas Aquinas on issues of universals and individuation. Vos presents Scotus as a rigorous and original thinker whose work laid the groundwork for later developments in scholasticism and beyond. This book is essential for those interested in medieval philosophy, metaphysics, and the historical foundations of modern philosophical thought.
