Law and Natural Law in Duns Scotus (Hobbes reader of Scotus?)
Abstract
Canonical divisions of the history of philosophy usually present as drastic the break between Medieval and Modern thinking. One can genuinely ask whether that rupture has not started in the Middle Ages and to what extent many of the elements that characterise the Modernity are already present in that period. In that sense, the article seeks to establish some similarities between Medieval and Modern thinking, particularly the aspects concerning the relationships between the ethical-political thinking of Duns Scotus and some ideas of Hobbes, that, after a detailed study, reveal themselves as heirs of Medieval philosophical thinking.Downloads
