Classic Books & Curious Minds: A Reading Group

We Continue Our Exploration of Duns Scotus!

This week we ask - Can reason investigate ultimate questions?

Section II (pp. 13-17, 19-25): Introduction, Pro et Contra, First and Second Statements on univocity https://electricscotland.com/history/other/JohnDunsScotusPhilosophicalWritings.pdf

Does something have to be observable or scientifically testable before reason can meaningfully investigate it?
And if reason can investigate questions beyond direct experience, how far can it take us?
The aim is to explore the arguments, question assumptions, and see where reason can - and perhaps cannot - take us, according to Scotus.

Our meetups are completely free. If you enjoy relaxed, thoughtful discussion, you’ll fit right in. Come join the conversation!

Each week, we have a number of short presentations by different participants on the reading, followed by discussion.
