Description

This session examines the tradition of commentary on Metaphysics IX (Theta) and in particular the ways in which the doctrinal innovations of Duns Scotus influenced later commentators upon, and appropriations of, the Aristotelian doctrine of potency in Metaphysics IX. The session hopes to make a case for the claim that Scotus's interpretation of Aristotle was a major factor not only within the Scotistic tradition of philosophy, but also within other Scholastic traditions.
