Die Univozität des Seienden. Texte zur Metaphysik
Work detail
This volume contains a translation (facing pages, Latin and German) of Duns Scotus’s discussion of how God can be known by means of a univocal concept of being, together with Scotus’s critique of divine illumination. In addition, it contains a historical-doctrinal introduction and detailed explanatory notes. By construing being as a univocal notion, Scotus finds new answers to two important questions: (1) How can we have knowledge of God? – By means of the univocal notion of being and of the transcendentals that are predicable of God and of creatures. (2) What gives unity to the science of metaphysics? – The notion of being, which is predicable of all beings (God and creatures) in a univocal way.
