Duns Scotus (d. 1308) was one of the most important philosophers of the Middle Ages. But little remains known about the \;immediate responses to Scotus's philosophy\, even though it is often proposed \;that Scotus changed his mind as he himself critized\, weighed and appropriated these responses. \;Unlike many of his fellow students\, Scotus commented on \;the Sentences twice: once in Oxford\, then in Paris. The result of the \;latter is the Reportatio Parsiensis. It is usually held that Scotus \;was confronted with arguments and criticism at Paris then he did not encounter \;in Oxford. Although Scotus already formulated an extensive philosophical \;system\, he was forced to sharpen his arguments on the whetstone of the Parisian \;milieu. Much of this criticism goes to the heart of Scotus's philosophy and \;criticizes his theories of the univocity of being\, the adequate object of the \;intellect\, the formal distinction\, and his theory of the will. The present conference will investigate this criticism.
\nThe speakers at the conference are: William J. Courtenay\, Richard Cross\, Stephen D. Dumont\, William Duba\, Marina Fedeli\, Wouter Goris\, Herná\;n Guerrero-Troncoso\, Timothy Noone\, Mikolaj Olszewski\, Francesco Pica\, Martin Pickavé\;\, Christopher Schabel\, Garrett Smith\, Anik Stanbury\, and Simona Vucu.
