I'm feeling dumber & dumber. In the early 60s, philosophy departments
left out the "Scholastics", so I only knew of Duns Scotus from Hopkins &
never followed it up further than a brief summary of the concept of
haecceitas (what we might call the principle of individuation), like the
lazy, scatterbrained fellow I remain. Ho hum. But if the concept of
univocity derives from Aquinas & Scotus and applied to the debatable
application of the same predicates to both God & creatures, how can it
be used in modern terms by philosophers who are presumably not too
concerned about what characteristics we might attribute to the
presumptive Divine Being?
