In On Being and Cognition, the first complete translation into
English of a pivotal text in the history of philosophy and
theology, Scotus addresses fundamental issues concerning the limits
of human knowledge and the nature of cognition by developing his
doctrine of the univocity of being, refuting skepticism and
analyzing the way the intellect and the object cooperate in
generating actual knowledge in the case of abstractive cognition.
Throughout the work Scotus is in discussion with important
theologians of his time, such as Thomas Aquinas, Henry of Ghent,
and Godfrey of Fontaines. Anyone interested in the pertinent
philosophical problems will find in this book the highly
sophisticated and subtle answers of a giant in the history of
thought.
