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.
