La teoria modale di Giovanni Duns Scoto. Il caso della relazione tra creatura e creatore e la condizione di beatitudine

In presenting the doctrine on the judgment of God against the damned and blessed, the Franciscan John Duns Scotus elaborates an answer that uses a new modal theory, thanks to which it is possible to find a more coherent explanation of the apparent contradiction between divine foreknowledge and human freedom. The first part of the volume offers a historiographical review of Scotistic modal logic; the second part consists of the Italian translation of three distinctions of Ordinatio IV (44.2, 46, and 49.1); in the third part of the volume, translated texts are analyzed in order to show the relevance of the hermeneutic perspective adopted.
