Scotism

Scotism is a schooling in the philosophy of late Scholasticism and the early modern period , which goes back to the teachings of John Duns Scotus and was represented in particular by members of the Franciscan order . No uniform school opinion was developed, but under Scotism are primarily Scotus-oriented, but individually summarized individual doctrines. The common ground within the Scotist positions is the absolute independence of God, the primacy of the will over reason and a clear separation of faith and knowledge. The Scotists took part in the universal dispute like the Thomiststook a moderately realistic position and stood against nominalism on the side of the Via antiqua .
