John Duns Scotus (1265/6-1308) was (along with Aquinas and Ockham) one of the three principal figures in medieval philosophy and theology, with an influence on modern thought arguably greater than that of Aquinas. The essays in this volume systematically survey the full range of Scotus's thought. They clearly explain the technical details of his writing and demonstrate the relevance of his work to contemporary philosophical debate.

Duns Scotus,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Cambridge Companion to Duns Scotus (Cambridge Companions to Philosophy) (Paperback)
I was very impressed with this treatment of Duns Scotus. Scotus is certainly one of the most important and revolutionary thinkers during the medieval times, along with Aquinas and William of Ockham. I was most impressed with the essays on Metaethics, virtue theory, mind and body and individuation. Scotus had some powerful ideas that are strongly worth considering.
