Richard Cross provides the first complete and detailed account of
Duns Scotus's theory of cognition, tracing the processes involved
in cognition from sensation, through intuition and abstraction, to
conceptual thought. He provides an analysis of the ontological
status of the various mental items (acts and dispositions) involved
in cognition, and a new account of Scotus on nature of conceptual
content. Cross goes on to offer a novel, reductionist,
interpretation of Scotus's view of the ontological status of
representational content, as well as new accounts of Scotus's
opinions on intuitive cognition, intelligible species, and the
varieties of consciousness. Scotus was a perceptive but highly
critical reader of his intellectual forebears, and this volume
places his thought clearly within the context of thirteenth-century
reflections on cognitive psychology, influenced as they were by
Aristotle, Augustine, and Avicenna. As far as possible, Duns
Scotus's Theory of Cognition traces developments in Scotus's
thought during the ten or so highly productive years that formed
the bulk of his intellectual life.
