The philosophical writings of Duns Scotus, one of the most
influential philosophers of the Later Middle Ages, are here
presented in a volume that presents the original Latin with facing
page English translation. CONTENTS: Foreword to the Second Edition.
Preface. Introduction. Select Bibliography. I. Concerning
Metaphysics II. Man's Natural Knowledge of God III. The Existence
of God IV. The Unicity of God V. Concerning Human Knowledge VI. The
Spirituality and Immortality of the Human Soul Notes. Index of
Proper Names. Index of Subjects.
This is the first major work of the famous mediaeval scholastic
theologian John Duns Scotus to be translated into English in its
entirety. One of the towering intellectual figures of his age,
Scotus has had a lasting influence on Western philosophy comparable
only to that of Thomas Aquinas. The questions Scotus discusses on
the subject "God and Creatures" were originally presented to him in
the course of a quodlibetal dispute, a public debate popular in the
thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. In revising the questions for
publication, Scotus wove in much of his basic philosophy and
theology, making this work one of the mainstays on which his
reputation as a thinker depends. The text of the English
translation is based on the most authoritative version of the
original Latin text. The extensive annotation and a glossary of
technical terms permit each question to be read as an integral
treatise in its own right. Originally published in 1975. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

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.
Since the original publication of Duns Scotus on the Will and
Morality in 1986, there has been a remarkable growth of interest in
the thought of this early fourteenth-century Franciscan master.
Allan B. Wolter's critically acclaimed book inspired much of the
inquiry, and today it remains the standard source on Scotus' moral
philosophy. This new edition of the book retains the introduction
and English translations of the original thirty-four selections of
texts from Scotus' writings on the will and morality. In addition
to a substantially expanded bibliography, the volume includes a
preface written by William A. Frank.
