The book ""The Transcendentals And Their Function In The Metaphysics Of Duns Scotus"" by Allan B. Wolter is a comprehensive study of the metaphysical philosophy of the 13th-century Franciscan theologian and philosopher, John Duns Scotus. The book focuses on the concept of the transcendentals, which are the fundamental properties of being that apply to all things, including goodness, truth, and beauty.Wolter explores how Scotus used the concept of the transcendentals to develop his metaphysical system, which emphasized the unique individuality and dignity of each created being. The book also examines the role of the transcendentals in Scotus's understanding of God and the relationship between God and creation.Throughout the book, Wolter provides detailed analysis and interpretation of Scotus's writings, drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources. The book is aimed at scholars and students of medieval philosophy and theology, as well as anyone interested in the history of ideas and the development of metaphysical thought.
