Giovanni Duns Scoto: un teologo incompreso, un santo da riscoprire
Panaro, Antonio (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2021)
In approaching the thought of John Duns Scotus, one inevitably encounters the luminous life testimony of a great saint. One is dealing with “an inseparable whole of philosophy, theology and spirituality.” John Duns Scotus, 13th century philosopher and theologian, is a controversial and original author. His works in the past have had more critics and opponents than supporters and disciples. He is a more modern thinker than one might imagine. He is by no means one of the many theologians and philosophers of the past, nor are his writings just gathering dust in our libraries. “He is not a fossil to be admired, but a living and throbbing Master, full of ardour and valuable insights” of great relevance. This Scottish-born Franciscan, born between 1265/66 and died in Cologne on the 8th November 1308, far from his homeland, is a theologian and a saint of great depth that we can perhaps only begin to appreciate today.
