This volume contains 14 studies on various aspects of Duns Scotus' philosophy. Duns Scotus (ca. 1265-1308/9) is one of the most important philosophers of the Middle Ages. His radical conception of contingency means a break in the history of thought. Despite his importance, he has not yet been studied very much. The contributors to the volume discuss a.o. Duns' view on will and intellect, on the law of nature, on man, and on aspects of his logic and metaphysics.

Für Platon waren unter den Hellenen die Kreter allen voraus im Blick auf die 'Unsterblichkeit der Seele' und daß Richter ihrer harren auf der 'Wiese im Kreuzweg': Mit den 'Gesetzen' auf dem Wege des Minos zur Grotte des Zeus wird 'Gott selbst' in spezifisch philosophischer Deutung reflektiert und von Platon in der 'Idee des Lebens' erblickt als 'das Eine (des-gleichen)' ,das sich vom einen der Einheit unterscheidet. Unter anderem mit den trinitätsbildenden Überlegungen des Origenes sowie dem spekulativen Entwurf Hegels in Bezug auf 'absolutes Wissen' wird die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Christentum erörtert im Hinblick auf 'das Heilige selbst' - in 'nous' und in 'pneuma' - und dessen Bedeutung für Bildung in Volksversammlung und 'ekklesía'.

Phenomenologies of Scripture addresses two increasingly convergent disciplines: philosophy and biblical studies. On the one hand, the recent “theological turn” in phenomenology has established religion as a legitimate area of phenomenological inquiry. If that turn is to be enduringly successful, phenomenology must pay attention to the scriptures on which religious life, practice, and thought are based. On the other hand, biblical studies finds itself in a methodological morass. Contemporary approaches to scripture have raised important questions about the meaning and function of scriptural texts that phenomenology is uniquely positioned to answer: How is the meaning of a text constructed or gleaned? How can the divine be present in human words? Is a scientific approach to the Bible still possible? Bringing together essays by eight of today’s most prominent philosophers of religion with responses by two leading biblical scholars, Phenomenologies of Scripture reestablishes the possibility of fruitful, dialectical exchange between fields that demand to be read together.
