In On Being and Cognition, the first complete translation into
English of a pivotal text in the history of philosophy and
theology, Scotus addresses fundamental issues concerning the limits
of human knowledge and the nature of cognition by developing his
doctrine of the univocity of being, refuting skepticism and
analyzing the way the intellect and the object cooperate in
generating actual knowledge in the case of abstractive cognition.
Throughout the work Scotus is in discussion with important
theologians of his time, such as Thomas Aquinas, Henry of Ghent,
and Godfrey of Fontaines. Anyone interested in the pertinent
philosophical problems will find in this book the highly
sophisticated and subtle answers of a giant in the history of
thought.
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 work is the first English translation of Scotus's commentary
on Aristotle's Quaestiones super Praedicamenta. Although there are
numerous Latin commentaries on Aristotle's Categories, Scotus's
Questions is one of the few commentaries on the Categories written
in the thirteenth century covering all of Aristotle's text,
including the often neglected post-praedicamenta, and the only
complete Latin commentary available in English. Moreover, unlike
many of the commentaries, Scotus's text is one of the last
commentaries to be written before the nominalist reduction of the
categories to substance and quality. The question format allows
Scotus a great deal of liberty to discuss the categories in detail,
as well as matters that are only remotely raised by the text.
Altogether, the forty-four questions cover the following subjects:
questions 1-4 are prolegomena to the work itself and raise the
question of its subject matter as well as whether there can be a
science of the categories; questions 5-8 deal with equivocals,
univocals, and denominatives; questions 9-11 discuss Aristotle's
two rules regarding predication and the sufficiency of the
categories; questions 12-36 discuss the four main categories
treated by Aristotle, namely, substance, quantity, relation, and
quality; and the remaining eight questions discuss the post-
praedicamenta.

In the first, what is eminent is said to be prior whereas what is
exceeded in perfection is posterior. Put briefly, whatever in
essence is more perfect and noble would be prior in this manner. It
was this kind of priority Aristotle had in mind in his proof that
act is prior to potency in the ninth book of the Metaphysics where
he calls act prior according to substance and form (species). "The
things that are posterior in becoming," he declares, "are prior in
form and in substantiality."
