Reading Ukrainian Catholics talking about Ockham (Ockham Perspectives). <br /><br />Of course, I think there is good which comes from reading him. What I do find as a problem is all those who think Scotus and Ockham are one and the same. That really annoys me. It is like saying Cicero is like Plato!Henry Karlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506445261363361986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472139466585018053.post-59575831662176940342010-02-25T15:26:15.223-05:002010-02-25T15:26:15.223-05:00X, the option, of course, is not to say anything a...X, the option, of course, is not to say anything about him!Michael Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11191322302191384384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472139466585018053.post-11530833162284464392010-02-25T13:57:00.128-05:002010-02-25T13:57:00.128-05:00You guys are my Scotist conscience.

I'm predisposed to eat that kind of genealogy up, but you keep me on the wagon. <br /><br />Though the one problem I see with forcing people to read Scotus and Ockham for a week respectively is that this would entail ACTUALLY reading Ockham....for a week....<br /><br />.....have you no mercy???<br /><br />Pax Christi,X-Cathedrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03375891103469974428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472139466585018053.post-34391449688011785772010-02-24T22:46:17.593-05:002010-02-24T22:46:17.593-05:00I remember, quite a few years ago now, the great D...I remember, quite a few years ago now, the great Dr Noone speculating on what St Bonaventure would make of the <i>De primo principio</i>. He thought that the Seraphic Doctor's reaction to the Subtle Doctor would be "Has it come to this? Is all this really necessary?", not that he would actually disagree with any of it.Michael Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11191322302191384384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472139466585018053.post-39766699222516952852010-02-24T22:41:04.937-05:002010-02-24T22:41:04.937-05:00An interesting project would be to read over St Bo...An interesting project would be to read over St Bonaventure's <i>Itinerarium</i> with Scotistic metaphysics in mind and ask, how much of it would Scotus have to reject? I think this would be a good test of some of these crazy claims. I suspect he would not have to reject that much.Michael Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11191322302191384384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472139466585018053.post-84290554465466722012010-02-24T22:30:32.246-05:002010-02-24T22:30:32.246-05:00I'm tempted to immediately dismiss anything at...I'm tempted to immediately dismiss anything at all that includes the term "Scotist-Occamist strain" as rubbish from the get-go. I wish everyone who writes about this stuff would be forced at least to spend one week reading Scotus, then one week reading Occam, before talking about how similar they are.<br /><br />I don't understand the rabid anti-individualism, which seems difficult to reconcile with key Christian doctrines. I've always thought that Scotus' theories of individuality were one of his most obvious strengths vis-a-vis Aquinas.<br /><br />Anyhoo, really good post.Michael Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11191322302191384384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472139466585018053.post-70550075003841145122010-02-24T22:12:06.873-05:002010-02-24T22:12:06.873-05:00I too was rather amused by the fact that he thinks...I too was rather amused by the fact that he thinks Scotus simultaneously puts God and creatures in one genus and holds that they are not connected.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698839146562734910noreply@blogger.com
