Long recognized as one of the greatest medieval philosophical
theologians, John Duns Scotus made his most innovative theoretical
contributions in the area of metaphysics. A careful and detailed
study of his argument for the existence of God and the theory of
knowledge that makes this possible provides the most direct access
to his basic ideas. Unlike the Five Ways of Thomas Aquinas or
Anselm's famous Proslogion argument, Scotus's proof is of another
order of complexity and amounts to a little "summa" of his
metaphysics. Among those theologians to accept Aristotle's
scientific theory, Scotus is perhaps the first to realize fully its
negative consequences if the philosophical doctrines of divine
illumination and the analogical concept of being interact. His
treatment of the God-question is distinguished for its
deliberatively holistic approach to what was conventionally a
series of unrelated topics.
