Overview
""The Univocity of the Concept of Being in the Philosophy of John Duns Scotus: A Dissertation"" is a scholarly work by Cyril L. Shircel that explores the philosophy of John Duns Scotus, a medieval philosopher who played a significant role in the development of scholasticism. The book focuses on Scotus's concept of being, which is the fundamental concept in his philosophical system. Shircel argues that Scotus's concept of being is univocal, meaning that it has a single meaning that applies to all things that exist. This is in contrast to the view of many other medieval philosophers, who believed that being was an equivocal concept, meaning that it had different meanings depending on the context in which it was used. Shircel's work is an important contribution to the study of medieval philosophy and will be of interest to scholars and students in the field.The Catholic University Of America Philosophical Studies, V67.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
