JoanisDuns Scotti ( ~1265-1308 ) was aFranciscan monk his work itis scholastic metaphysics in Latin. The "subtle doctor " was muchregarded by the medieval mind.John Duns, commonly called Duns Scotus "Duns the Scot", was a Scottish Catholic priest and Franciscan friar, university professor, philosopher, and theologian. He is one of the three most important philosopher-theologians of Western Europe in the High Middle Ages together with Thomas Aquinas and William of Oakham. Scotus has had considerable influence on both Catholic and secular thought. The doctrines for which he is best known are the "univocity of being", that existence is the most abstract concept we have, applicable to everything that exists; the formal distinction, a way of distinguishing between different aspects of the same thing; and the idea of haecceity, the property supposed to be in each individual thing that makes it an individual. Scotus also developed a complex argument for the existence of God, and argued for the Immaculate Conception of Mary. Source Wikipedia.
