The early medieval Scottish thinker and theologian John Duns Scotus shook conventional doctrines of universality and particularity by means of arguing for a metaphysics of 'formal distinction'. thousands of years later, why did the 19th-century poet and self-styled thinker Gerard Manley Hopkins locate this innovative educating so beautiful?

John Llewelyn solutions this question by way of casting mild on numerous neologisms brought through Hopkins and divulges how Hopkins endorses Scotus' declare that being and lifestyles are grounded in doing and willing.

Drawing on glossy responses to Scotus made by means of Heidegger, Peirce, Arendt, Leibniz, Hume, Reid, Derrida and Deleuze, Llewelyn's personal reaction indicates why it might be a pity to feel that the rewards of examining Scotus and Hopkins can be found basically to people who proportion their theological presuppositions.
