John Duns Scotus

John Duns Scotus was a medieval thinker who significantly impacted philosophical theology. He argued for the complexity of God's nature, emphasizing that God's attributes, like omniscience and goodness, are unified and singular. Scotus asserted that God's will is free, meaning that God is not bound by logic but transcends it. This raises questions about divine foreknowledge and human free will, suggesting that God's foreknowledge does not determine human choices. His insights aimed to reconcile divine traits with the mystery of faith, influencing later theological and philosophical discussions about the nature of God and human freedom.
