John Duns Scotus (circa 1266-1308) Special thanks to the Microsoft Corporation for their contribution to our site. The following information came from Microsoft Encarta. Here is a hyperlink to the Microsoft Encarta home page. http://www.encarta.msn.com Duns Scotus, John (circa 1266-1308), Scottish theologian and philosopher, founder of a school of Scholasticism known as Scotism. Like Aquinas, Scotus was a realist in philosophy, but he differed from Aquinas on certain basic issues. A major point of difference concerned their views of perception. Duns Scotus held that a direct, intuitive grasp of particular things is obtained both through the intellect and the senses. Aquinas maintained that intellect did not directly know the singularity of material things but only the universal natures that are abstracted from sense perceptions. Duns Scotus was one of the most profound and subtle of the medieval theologians and philosophers known as Schoolmen. For many centuries after his death his followers, called Scotists, engaged in controversy with the adherents of Aquinas, who were called Thomists. In the 20th century the influence of Scotist philosophy was still strong within the church. Duns Scotus was a staunch supporter of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, which Pope Pius IX defined as a dogma of the Roman Catholic church in 1854.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... S > Scotism and Scotists A B C D ... Z Scotism and Scotists I. SCOTISM This is the name given to the philosophical and theological system or school named after John Duns Scotus (q.v.). It developed out of the Old Franciscan School, to which Haymo of Faversham (d. 1244), Alexander of Hales (d. 1245), John of Rupella (d. 1245), William of Melitora (d. 1260), St. Bonaventure (d. 1274), Cardinal Matthew of Aquasparta (d. 1289), John Pecham (d. 1292), Archbishop of Canterbury, Richard of Middletown (d. about 1300), etc. belonged. This school had at first but few peculiarities; it followed Augustinism (Platonism), which then ruled theology, and which was adopted not only by the Parisian professors belonging to the secular clergy (William of Auvergne, Henry of Ghent, etc.), but also by prominent teachers of the Dominican Order (Roland of Cremona, Robert Fitzacker, Robert of Kilwardby , etc.). These theologians knew and utilized freely all the writings of Aristotle , but employed the new Peripatetic ideas only in part or in an uncritical fashion, and intermingled with Platonic elements. Albertus Magnus and especially St. Thomas (d. 1274) introduced Aristoteleanism more widely into Scholasticism. The procedure of St. Thomas was regarded as an innovation, and called forth criticism, not only from the Franciscans, but also from the secular doctors and even many Dominicans. At this time appeared Scotus, the

JOHN DUNS SCOTUS Theologian John Duns Scotus was a medieval Christian theologian and philosopher remembered mostly for his defense of the doctrine of Immaculate Conception (that is, that Mary, the mother of Jesus , was free of sin). A member of the Franciscan Order, Scotus taught in Oxford, Paris and Cologne (where he died), embraced Aristotelian philosophy and founded the branch of Scholasticism later called Scotism, a critical response to the teachings of Thomas Aquinas. Called Doctor Subtillis ("The Subtle Doctor"), Scotus upheld the notion of the separate nature of a rational and independent soul, modified the ontological argument put forth by Anselm and defended the primacy of divine will over intellect. Scotus was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1993. Extra credit : Scotus followers were called Scotists and "duncemen" (after his middle name). Their strong opposition to the revival of classical studies during the Renaissance led to use of the word "dunce" to mean an uneducated person or a numbskull.

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Duns Scotus John Duns Scotus (c. November 8 ) was a theologian and philosopher . Some may argue that during his tenure at Oxford, the notion of what differentiates theology from philosophy and science began in earnest. He was born in Duns Scotland . Ordained a priest in Northampton, England , he studied and taught at Oxford and Paris and probably also at Cambridge . Finally, he came to Cologne in 1307. He was one of the most important Franciscan theologians and was the founder of Scotism, a special form of Scholasticism . He was known as Doctor Subtilis because of his subtle merging of differing views. However later philosophers were not so complimentary about his work and the modern word dunce comes from the name "Dunse" given to his followers. He died in Cologne and is buried in the Church of the Minorites in Cologne. His sarcophagus bears the Latin inscription: " Scotia me genuit. Anglia me suscepit. Gallia me docuit. Colonia me tenet. " ("Scotland brought me forth. England sustained me. France taught me. Cologne holds me.")

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "angelfire.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" John Duns Scotus on "Human Knowledge of God" John Duns Scotus’s “Cognitio Naturalis de Deo” (“Natural Knowledge of God”) is a lecture from his Opus Oxoniense (or Ordinatio ). He presents arguments for and against the thesis that it is possible for human beings to know God. The first argument against this thesis is that God cannot be perceived by the senses. God is imperceptible to the human mind. The human intellect cannot know something that cannot be perceived by the senses. The second argument against the thesis that we can understand the nature of God is that, just as many natural phenomena are imperceptible to our sensory capability, so is God imperceptible to our sensory capability. Another argument against the thesis that we can know God is that the infinite cannot be known by human beings. If God is infinite, then God is unknowable. It is impossible for the human intellect to know an infinite number of things, and thus we cannot know infinite Being. Duns Scotus then approaches the thesis in another way, by asking whether we can know what God is not. We can deny some aspect or quality of God only if it is inconsistent with another aspect or quality which we have already affirmed. We can arrive at negations of God only by means of affirmations of God.
