1 Scotus on Action for the Blackwell Companion to the Philosophy Of
Scotus on Action for the Blackwell Companion to the Philosophy of Action The category of action Action is one of the ten categories. Scotus holds that the division of contingent being into the categories is both sufficient and immediate: sufficient in the sense that there are no other categories, and immediate in the sense that no two or more of the categories fall under some still more generic category.1 In arguing for the distinctness and irreducibility of action as a category, Scotus focuses on why action (along with its correlative category, passion) is not to be subsumed under the category of relation. One might suppose that there is nothing more to the action of, say, heating than the relation between the active power that causes heat and the passive recipient of that heat, but that would be a mistake. For one thing, even in the case of heating more is required for there to be an action than merely the relation between the agent and patient; there must also be something that actualizes the active power. More crucially, there are some actions that do not involve any relation. When an action remains within the agent, there is no relation to any passion, because the agent does not cause any passion.2 An action that remains within the agent is called an immanent action; one that “passes through” or “goes out from” the agent is called a transeunt action. Transeunt actions produce something – some form – in a patient; this form is called the terminus of the action. The terminus of a transeunt action, by contrast, is not a form produced by the action, but the object with which the action is concerned. -

Duns Scotus on the Common Nature and the Individual Differentia
c Peter King, Philosophical Topics 20 (1992), 50–76 DUNS SCOTUS ON THE COMMON NATURE* Introduction COTUS holds that in each individual there is a principle that accounts for its being the very thing it is and a formally S distinct principle that accounts for its being the kind of thing it is; the former is its individual differentia, the latter its common nature.1 These two principles are not on a par: the common nature is prior to the individual differentia, both independent of it and indifferent to it. When the individual differentia is combined with the common nature, the result is a concrete individual that really differs from all else and really agrees with others of the same kind. The individual differentia and the common nature thereby explain what Scotus takes to stand in need of explanation: the indi- viduality of Socrates on the one hand, the commonalities between Socrates * An earlier version of this paper was presented at the 26th International Congress on Medieval Studies, sponsored by the Medieval Institute, held at Western Michigan University 9–12 May 1991.

The Church and the People of God: Fragments of a Constitution Al History*
THE CHURCH AND THE PEOPLE OF GOD: FRAGMENTS OF A CONSTITUTION AL HISTORY* By J.T. Me PARTLIN I THE re-appraisal of the place of the laity in the Church is well-known to be a task which at once arouses the suspicion and hostility of a certain type of Catholic: it eamed Newman himself a formal delation to Rome for heresy, l and the attitude of Newman' s opponents has unfortunately not disappeated with the passage of time, but remains to complicate still further an already sufficiently complex discussion. For some, to recom mend a new vision of the laity is nothing less than a chal1enge to the authority of the Church, cal1ing in question the collective wisdom of Catho1icism which has ordained the present relationship of the two orders. On the other hand, ie is now becoming painfully evident that a great deal of our present situation is due more to historical accident than to the considered decision of the Church, and that some of the Church's collective wisdom is thereby obscured rather than expressed - for in the recent past the Church has 'appeated above everything else to be a reli gious organisation for practical aims, of an outspoken juridical character. The mystical element in her, everything that stood behind the palpable aims and arrangements, everything that expressed itself in the concept of the Kingdom of God, of the mystical Body of Christ, would not be perceived at once.'2 The restoration of these hitherto obscured elements, moreover, is no merely academic question, for the needs of the modem world are now widely recognised to require a thoroughly activt;! partici pation of the laity in the Church' s life. -

The Univocity of Substance and the Formal Distinction of Attributes: the Role of Duns Scotus in Deleuze's Reading of Spinoza Nathan Widder
parrhesia 33 · 2020 · 150-176 the univocity of substance and the formal distinction of attributes: the role of duns scotus in deleuze's reading of spinoza nathan widder This paper examines the role played by medieval theologian John Duns Scotus in Gilles Deleuze’s reading of Spinoza’s philosophy of expressive substance; more generally, it elaborates a crucial moment in the development of Deleuze’s philosophy of sense and difference. Deleuze contends that Spinoza adapts and extends Duns Scotus’s two most influential theses, the univocity of being and formal distinction, despite neither appearing explicitly in Spinoza’s writings. “It takes nothing away from Spinoza’s originality,” Deleuze declares, “to place him in a perspective that may already be found in Duns Scotus” (Deleuze, 1992, 49).1 Nevertheless, the historiographic evidence is clearly lacking, leaving Deleuze to admit that “it is hardly likely that” Spinoza had even read Duns Scotus (359n28). Indeed, the only support he musters for his speculation is Spinoza’s obvious in- terests in scholastic metaphysical and logical treatises, the “probable influence” of the Scotist-informed Franciscan priest Juan de Prado on his thought, and the fact that the problems Duns Scotus addresses need not be confined to Christian thought (359–360n28). The paucity of evidence supporting this “use and abuse” of history, however, does not necessarily defeat the thesis. Like other lineages Deleuze proposes, the one he traces from Duns Scotus to Spinoza, and subsequently to Nietzsche, turns not on establishing intentional references by one thinker to his predecessor, but instead on showing how the borrowings and adaptations asserted to create the connec- tion make sense of the way the second philosopher surmounts blockages he faces while responding to issues left unaddressed by the first. -

In Book III, questions concerning the incarnation of Christ were examined by generation after generation of scholars. The changing nature of the tabulae of questions mirrors the shifting interest of scholarly dis, cussion. A significant phenomenon in the thirteenth century was the gradual intrusion of questions about Mary into Christological discussions on the Incarnation. This can be strikingly illustrated by comparing the tabula of questions of the Dominican Robert of Kilwardby (ca. -
Abstract of Monia Mancinelli's Work (RAMUS
Abstract of Monia Mancinelli’s work (RAMUS PhD - curriculum FITMU, XXIX cicle – XV o. s.) Title: “The Principle of Individuation in Landulph Caracciolus’s commentary on the Sentences. Text and study”. This research is aimed at reconstructing and studying the sections of Landulph Caracciolus’s commentary on the Sentences dedicated to the principle of individuation. Landulph Caracciolus is a Franciscan friar coming from Naples who lived in the XIVth century and who lectured the Sentences at Paris in the academic year 1318-1319. Recently, Christopher D. Schabel has underlined that, despite its widespread popularity and the important context of its composition, however, Landulph’s commentary on the Sentences has largely been neglected. From 1999 Christopher D. Schabel and Russell L. Friedman have been promoting a larger attention to Landulph’s commentary, showing that the Franciscan friar can be an interesting mean to trace the story of the reception of Duns Scotus and Peter Auriol’s doctrines at the University of Paris during the first twenty years of the XIVth century. The question of the principle of the individuation is about the research of the existence and the identification of the element responsible for both ontological determination and knowledge of the single entity. The first chapter of this work shows that the question explodes during the XIIIth century thanks to the Aristotelian corpus and to Avicenna’s and Averroes’s works, and many thinkers try to offer a personal solution to the problem, offering six main competing theories: 1) real natures are individual as such (William of Ware); 2) double negation (Henry of Ghent); 3) actual existence (maybe Roger Bacon, Peter of Falco, Peter of Alverny or Robert Kilwardby); 4) the collection of personal accidents/properties (ascribed to Boethius), and particularly quantity (Godfrey of Fontaines and Thomas Sutton); 5) matter (Albert the Great, Thomas of Aquin and Giles of Rome); 6) respectus ad agens (unknown).
