Duns Scotus’ contribution to philosophical topics such as praxis, practical knowledge, the relationship between the will and the intellect, and natural law is foundational for the development of late medieval and early modern philosophical and theological thought. This undergraduate seminar will help students read and discuss Scotus’ texts on ethics and morality in English translation, guided by the instructor’s questions and guidelines. Each seminar session will focus on a text or group of texts, accompanied by an optional piece of recent scholarship to acquaint students with the latest research on Scotus and with English-language academic writing. The seminar will feature at least one international guest providing lectures. Like any seminar, this course will encourage student participation, helping them improve their English language skills as much as possible. Students will be graded according to class participation and the writing of a final 12-page research essay in English.
