In order to confirm our hypothesis, this study adopts the following route: in the introduction, we present the main elements of metaphysics before Duns Scotus that most influenced the Doctor Subtilis’s system. There are three steps: the conception of science and metaphysics of substance put forward by Aristotle; the discussion about the object of study of first philosophy between the medieval Arabs, in particular, in the philosophies of Avicenna and Averroes; the concepts of being and essential order on Henry of Ghent. Holding these elements in mind, the first chapter contextualizes the scotistic conception of metaphysics. It deals with the following themes: the concept and the object of metaphysics according to Duns Scotus; the concept of being as the first object of human intellect; the univocity of being; the so called "second beginning of metaphysics". Since being is the first class of transcendent notions, scotistic metaphysics is configured not only as ontology, but also as a transcendent science. In this sense, it is necessary to clarify the concept of transcendent proposed by Duns Scotus, as well as dealing with transcendent classes too, namely: the coextensive attributes, the disjunctive attributes and the pure perfections. To carry out this task is the goal of our second chapter. As far as is known, the De primo principio is the first philosophical treatise entirely dedicated to prove the existence of God written by a Medieval Latin philosopher. Therefore, we center our discussion in this work which is the aim of the third chapter of the present study. Finally, our fourth and last chapter presents two ways in favor of the transcendent status of pure perfections. / A presente tese de doutoramento tem por finalidade defender o estatuto transcendente das perfeições puras. A fim de confirmarmos nossa hipótese, o presente trabalho adota o seguinte percurso: na Introdução, apresentamos os principais elementos da metafísica pré-scotista que mais influenciaram o sistema do Doctor Subtilis. Três são os passos dados: a concepção de ciência e a de metafísica da substância apresentadas por Aristóteles; a discussão acerca do objeto de estudo da filosofia primeira ocorrida entre os árabes medievais, em especial, nas filosofias de Avicena e Averróis; os conceitos de ente e de ordem essencial em Henrique de Gand. De posse desses elementos, o capítulo primeiro contextualiza a concepção scotista de metafísica. Aborda-se os seguintes temas: o conceito e o objeto da metafísica de acordo com Duns Scotus; o conceito “ente” como primeiro objeto do intelecto humano; a univocidade do termo “ente”; o assim denominado “segundo começo da metafísica”. Visto ser o ente a primeira classe das noções transcendentes, a metafísica scotista se configura não apenas como ontologia, mas também como ciência dos transcendentes. Nesse sentido, torna-se necessário explicitar a noção de transcendente proposta por Duns Scotus, bem como abordar as demais classes de transcendentes, a saber: os atributos coextensíveis com o ente, os atributos disjuntivos e as perfeições puras. Levar a cabo essa tarefa constitui-se no objetivo de nosso segundo capítulo. Até onde se conhece, o De primo principio é o primeiro tratado absolutamente filosófico dedicado a provar a existência de Deus escrito por um filósofo latino medieval. Por conseguinte, essa é a obra de análise mais detida no cerne de nossa tese e que se constitui no terceiro capítulo do presente trabalho. Por fim, nosso quarto e último capítulo apresenta duas vias a favor do estatuto transcendente das perfeições puras.

of the Paper The goal of submitted paper is to show Suárez's proof of the existence of God as the main task of his metaphysics and to show the influence of St. Thomas Aquinas and John Duns Scotus on his own system of metaphysics. As will be shown, the importance of this preeminent thinker of so called second scholasticism is in his synthesis of relatively incompatible doctrines of thomism and scotism. This paper will therefore deal with main problems of precedening tradition of Aristotelian metaphysics, especially with analogy of being as applied to God and creatures, then with theory of causality and other connected questions. Keywords Suárez - Thomas Aquinas - Duns Scotus - metaphysics - proof of existence of God

These concepts appear in both the different versions of his argument (Lect., Ord., Rep. I-A e TPP) as well as in a passage from his commentary on Aristotle?s Metaphysics. Thus, first of all, it is necessary to treat in a general sense the characteristics of these texts and to say where, in themselves, those concepts are found, besides indicating how the frame of the theistic argument of Scotus leads him to causality. Secondly, it is important to devote a little attention to the doctrinal sources on which Scotus based himself to formulate his own concepts, namely on Aristotle and Avicenna. In this chapter it is also shown in which the Scotistic notions approach and depart from those of his sources. In addition, the differences indicated by Scotus between the ceo and cao, on the one hand, and per se and per accidens causes, on the other, are clarified. Finally, it deals exclusively with ceo and cao, initially, presenting the characteristics of the members of each causal series in their respective processes of action; then, it is studied how these causes are structured as series, where the treatment of the bond of both with the First Cause is initiated through three propositions in which the fineness of the ceo is proved, the possible infinity of the cao and how the First Cause acts in relation to these two causal series. This chapter is finished discussing the exclusive characteristics of the Causa Prima in its relation to the others (ceo and cao), and saying how these two series contribute to a causal theory in theistic argument of Duns Scotus. / Este estudo tem em vista desenvolver dois conceitos-chave para o argumento te?sta de Jo?o Duns Scotus, a saber, o de causas essencialmente ordenadas (ceo) e o de causas acidentalmente ordenadas (cao). Estes conceitos aparecem tanto nas diferentes vers?es de seu argumento (Lect., Ord., Rep. I-A e TPP) quanto em uma passagem de seu coment?rio ? Metaf?sica de Arist?teles. Assim, em primeiro lugar, ? preciso tratar em sentido geral das carater?sticas destes textos e onde, nos mesmos, aqueles conceitos aparecem, al?m de indicar como a estrutura do argumento te?sta de Scotus leva-o ? causalidade. Em segundo, ? importante dedicar um pouco de aten??o ?s fontes doutrinais em que Scotus se baseou para formul?-los, a saber, Arist?teles e Avicena, mostrando em que as no??es scotistas se aproximam e em que se afastam das de suas fontes, al?m de esclarecer as diferen?as indicadas por Scotus entre as ceo e as cao, de um lado, e as causas per se e per accidens, de outro. Por fim, trata-se exclusivamente das ceo e das cao, inicialmente, apresentando as caracter?sticas dos membros de cada s?rie causal em seus respectivos processos de atua??o; a seguir, estuda - se como estas causas se estruturam enquanto s?ries, onde se inicia o tratamento do v?nculo de ambas com a Causa Primeira atrav?s de tr?s proposi??es em que se prova a finidade das ceo, a poss?vel infinidade das cao e como a Causa Primeira atua em rela??o a estas duas s?ries causais. Conclui-se ent?o o cap?tulo tratando das caracter?sticas exclusivas da Causa Prima em sua rela??o com as outras (ceo e cao), e de como estas duas s?ries contribuem para uma teoria causal no argumento te?sta de Duns Scotus.

The following exposition seeks to argue for the soundness of Scotus?s analysis of the concepts of identity and distinction in the framework of his doctrine of the ?formal distinction?, which grounds his overall approach to this metaphysical principle. Our interpretative purpose is also oriented on the secondary objective of examining the consistency of an important objection posed by Ockham?s Problem. / O objetivo central da presente disserta??o ? examinar os problemas interrelacionados do estatuto ontol?gico e da distin??o do princ?pio de individua??o, a saber, o princ?pio que visa explicar a identidade num?rica de subst?ncias individuais, na metaf?sica do fil?sofo e te?logo escol?stico J. Duns Scotus (c. 1265/6-1308). A exposi??o subsequente visa argumentar pela cog?ncia da an?lise de Scotus dos conceitos de identidade e distin??o no quadro da sua doutrina da ?distin??o formal?, a qual fundamenta a sua abordagem a este princ?pio metaf?sico. Nosso prop?sito interpretativo ? orientado, ademais, pelo exame da consist?ncia de uma obje??o importante a esta an?lise colocada pelo Problema de Ockham.

While Richard Baxter (1615-91) is well known and rightly held in high esteem for his practical divinity and his evangelistic zeal, he has hitherto been conspicuously neglected as a theologian. In particular there have been no major studies of him with respect to the renewed paradigm of Protestant Scholasticism and none at all of his Methodus Theologiae (1681), which represents the fruit of a lifetime of theological reflection and study and which is arguably, in both scope and vision, one of the last great Summas of English scholastic divinity. This thesis focuses on the Methodus and on Baxter‟s theological method, which he took, though imperfect, to be the closest to the true Scripture method of theology that anyone had yet come. Baxter believed that every level of (active) created reality reflected the impress of God‟s Triune being in metaphysical composition, structure and activity. This he described, following the Italian metaphysicist Tommaso Campanella, in terms of the divine primalities or principles of Power, Wisdom and Love. In the Methodus these insights are systematised into a kind of Trinitarian logic. Baxter held that human reason should be sanctified in order to conform to the Trinitarian structure of created reality, and therefore espoused a method of trichotomising organised according to these same divine principles, derivative of both Ramist and Lullist method. This thesis argues that the whole of Baxter‟s mature thought is structured in a Trinitarian fashion according to his own „hallowed logic‟ and that two themes, often interlinked, are the key to interpreting his thought: the metaphysics of the divine principles and the Christian‟s baptismal covenant with the Triune God. Furthermore it examines Baxter‟s analogical ascent from the general vestigia Trinitatis present in the whole created order through the special vestigium of man‟s soul fashioned in the image of God and finally to the Trinity itself. This detailed exposition provides the basis, in the concluding chapter, for an examination of the whole of the Methodus and a demonstration that this represents a methodological unfolding of the covenant between the believer and God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the threefold Kingdom of Nature, Grace and Glory. In this way the Methodus may be seen as having taken its inspiration from the Theo-Politica (1659) of Baxter‟s friend George Lawson. Finally this thesis concludes that Baxter‟s thought has pronounced Scotist and Nominalist accents. His Scotism in particular runs deep and has strong ties with his Trinitarian thought, which is especially significant in light of the recent increasingly vocal discussions of the Scotist character of Protestant Scholasticism. Overall therefore it is suggested that Baxter is a neglected figure who deserves to be rediscovered and whose mature theology represents a fascinating reconstrual of biblical ideas according to a Trinitarian and scholastic paradigm.
