Richard Cross provides the first complete and detailed account of Duns Scotus's theory
of cognition, tracing the processes involved in cognition from sensation, through
intuition and abstraction, to conceptual thought. He provides an analysis of the ontological
status of the various mental items (acts and dispositions) involved in cognition,
and a new account of Scotus on nature of conceptual content. Cross goes on to offer
a novel, reductionist, interpretation of Scotus's view of the ontological status of
representational content, as well as new accounts of Scotus's opinions on intuitive
cognition, intelligible species, and the varieties of consciousness. Scotus was a
perceptive but highly critical reader of his intellectual forebears, and this volume
places his thought clearly within the context of thirteenth-century reflections on
cognitive psychology, influenced as they were by Aristotle, Augustine, and Avicenna.
As far as possible, this book traces developments in Scotus's thought during the ten
or so highly productive years that formed the bulk of his intellectual life
