The early medieval Scottish philosopher and theologian John Duns
Scotus shook traditional doctrines of universality and
particularity by arguing for a metaphysics of 'formal distinction'.
Hundreds of years later, why did the 19th century poet and
self-styled philosopher Gerard Manley Hopkins find this
revolutionary teaching so appealing? John Llewelyn answers this
question by casting light on various neologisms introduced by
Hopkins and reveals how Hopkins endorses Scotus' claim that being
and existence are grounded in doing and willing. Drawing on modern
responses to Scotus made by Heidegger, Peirce, Arendt, Leibniz,
Hume, Reid, Derrida and Deleuze, Llewelyn's own response shows why
it would be a pity to suppose that the rewards of reading Scotus
and Hopkins are available only to those who share their theological
presuppositions.
