“The greatest of the philosophers was John Duns Scotus, but there were others such as John Ireland, John Mair of Haddington and George Lokert of Ayr.  Focusing on the concepts of will, intellect and faith…  Broadie investigates the philosophy of these men and the relationships between their ideas.  He places them within the framework of the medieval dispute between nominalists and realists which so characterised philosophy and theology in the Middle Ages.  Scotus’ account of the primacy of will over intellect was demonstrably influenced by his Franciscan inheritance.” – Blurb

Abstract: “The greatest of the philosophers [for Scotland during this time] was John Duns Scotus, but there were others such as John Ireland, John Mair of Haddington and George Lokert of Ayr.  Focusing on the concepts of will, intellect and faith, Professor Broadie investigates the philosophy of these men and the relationships between their ideas.  He places them within the framework of the medieval dispute between nominalists and realists which so characterised philosophy and theology in the Middle Ages.”
