and " and "The Transcendentals and Their Function in the Metaphysics of Duns Scotus and " and " is a book written by Allan B. Wolter that delves into the philosophical concepts of the transcendentals and their role in the metaphysics of the medieval philosopher Duns Scotus. The book explores the idea that the transcendentals, which include being, unity, truth, goodness, and beauty, are fundamental aspects of reality that cannot be reduced to other concepts. Wolter examines how Scotus understood the relationship between the transcendentals and how they functioned in his metaphysical system. The author also analyzes Scotus's arguments for the existence of God and the immortality of the soul, which rely heavily on the concept of the transcendentals. Through a detailed analysis of Scotus's work, Wolter provides a comprehensive understanding of the role that the transcendentals play in medieval metaphysics and how they continue to be relevant in contemporary philosophical discussions. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, metaphysics, and the role of the transcendentals in philosophical thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
