The basic quidditative metaphysics of Duns Scotus as seen in his “De primo principio”

Descrizione

This book grew out of two articles which the Editor of the Antonianum, Father Isaac Vazquez, kindly published in 1969. In so far as the second article was a continuation of the first, and therefore dealt with the same theme, both articles, in fact, made only one article – dealing with the Scotistic metaphysical system and doctrine which were presumed by the Scotistic tract, the De primo principio. However, after over a hundred pages had been written, the task was not fully done, and, at the same time, one could hardly write at any greater length in the Antonianum. Hence it was decided that the full task would be accomplished in a small book. Hence this book.

Structurally, it is composed of these two long articles which have been slightly reworked and made into five chapters, of two new chapters which filled out those important aspects I could not develop within the limits of the articles and of a synthetic conclusion.
