Duns Scotus

John Duns Scotus was a medieval philosopher and theologian known for his complex ideas about God, existence, and the afterlife. He emphasized the unique nature of individual souls and argued that God's will is paramount, influencing our understanding of morality and salvation. Duns Scotus also proposed the concept of "univocity of being," suggesting that God and creatures exist in a more comparable way than previously thought. In the context of the afterlife, he emphasized God's grace and the possibility of salvation, highlighting the importance of free will in one's relationship with the divine and the eternal consequences of moral choices.
