This is an account of the life and work of Duns Scotus which gives acclaim to an important figure in the history of philosophical thought. John Duns Scotus (c.1265-1308) is distinguished among medieval thinkers for the depth of his learning and the originality and acuteness of his intellect.;His writings took in such wide-ranging topics as logic, metaphysics, grammar and theology and include the first attempt to formulate universal laws of language. His place in the history of philosophy is ensured by his critical acumen and his scepticism regarding the scope of reason. He refused to concede the strict demonstrability of certain theological propositions by pure reason - a stand that marked the beginning of the decline of scholastic thought and paved the way for a more generally critical attitude in the 14th century.
