Blessed John Duns Scotus (1265-1308), the Franciscan friar identified
because the “Delicate Physician”, is among the most essential theologians
and philosophers of the Center Ages, but over the centuries he has
fallen into disrepute, or at the very least neglect, by comparability with the
“Angelic Physician”, St. Thomas Aquinas.
Curiosity in Scotus has revived considerably partly attributable to his
beatification by Pope St. John Paul II, who referred to as him the
“defender of the Immaculate Conception” and “minstrel of the
Incarnation”.
Certainly, Scotus’s best legacy is his argument for Mary’s
having been conceived with out unique sin, a controversial
place on the time, but vindicated centuries later when this was
proclaimed a dogma by Pope Bl. Pius IX. That is adequate cause
to get to know Scotus, even when he in the end takes a again seat to
Aquinas.
Thomas Ward, writer of Ordered by Love: An Introduction to
John Duns Scotus, joins the podcast to debate features of
Scotus’s thought, and his context within the early historical past of the
Franciscan order.
