In this much-anticipated work, distinguished authors Mary Beth
Ingham and Mechthild Dreyer present an accessible introduction to
the philosophy of the thirteenth century Franciscan John Duns
Scotus. Based on their expert knowledge of Scotus, this text brings
together key insights of Scotus's theory of cognition, metaphysics,
and ethics in a comprehensive and unified manner.
The authors use critical texts and the most recent scholarship on
Scotus to introduce the intricate vision of the Subtle Doctor to a
wide audience.
This volume offers a point of entry into the world of medieval
philosophy and its connection to questions belonging to natural
theology: the existence of God, divine freedom, and perfection. It
presents important historical information on Scotus himself, but
additionally on the philosophical context in which he taught. The
authors explicate his thought in light of the dominant questions of
the late thirteenth century.
The integrative and comprehensive presentation of the essential
elements of Scotus's philosophical vision makes this book an
excellent resource. Basic concepts are explained for the
non-specialist, while helpful discussions of Scotus's conceptions
will be useful for those already familiar with his work.
Mary Beth Ingham is Professor of Philosophy and Associate Academic
Vice President at Loyola Marymount University. In addition to
numerous articles and reviews, her most recent works include Scotus
for Dunces: An Introduction to the Subtle Doctor and The Harmony of
Goodness: Mutuality and Moral Living According to John Duns Scotus.
Mechthild Dreyer, author of numerous works published in German, is
Professor of Scholastic Philosophy at the
University of Mainz, Germany. Her recent works include Scotus's
Theoremata (coedited with Hannes Mvhle)in Scotus Opera
Philosophica, Vol. 2, and Nikolaus von Amiens: Ars fidei
catholicae.
