La especie inteligible en Duns Escoto

Abstract

The objective of this work is to let raised some central aspects of the noetic Scotus, promptly regarding the intelligible species, its relation to the intelligible object, and how this thinker conceived notions of universality and presence on that one. As we shall see, the subtle distinction between: (i) the material and concrete of the outside world thing, (ii) the intelligible species (species intelligibilis) as accident of the soul, (iii) the intentional content (esse obiectivum) of the latter, which is the true object of immediate of the intellect. In turn, be left raised the role of species in the abstractive intelligible knowledge.
