Jean Duns Scot

John Duns Scotus was a medieval Scottish scholar and philosopher known for his work on theology and metaphysics. He emphasized the importance of individual squaring and the uniqueness of each creature, advocating that God's will and knowledge are preeminent but not deterministic, allowing for human free will. Scotus contributed to the development of concepts like the nature of universals and the distinction between essence and existence. His ideas influenced Christian theology and philosophy, particularly in Catholic thought, and helped shape modern debates on free will, divine omniscience, and the nature of reality.
