A reading group meets in Newcastle upon Tyne on 22 October 2026 to examine the philosophical works of John Duns Scotus. The text under discussion includes the rejection of scepticism and the certainty of sense knowledge.
**Exploration of Duns Scotus!** “We hope to understand why Scotus is considered one of the great medieval philosophers, and to become familiar with some of his main ideas.” The text - John Duns Scotus Philosophical Writings [- https://share.google/ahyLy6BZdZSE1059Z](https://electricscotland.com/history/other/JohnDunsScotusPhilosophicalWritings.pdf) This week we examine: How do we know what is true? Section V (pp. 114–123): "Article II: Rejection of Scepticism," "Certitude of Sense Knowledge" Can we trust our senses? How do we move from experience to understanding? Is certainty possible? Scotus offers a powerful challenge to modern assumptions and invites us to see the world not as a problem to escape, but as a reality we are naturally equipped to know. Our meetups are completely **free**. If you enjoy relaxed, thoughtful discussion, you’ll fit right in. Come join the conversation! Each week, we have a number of short presentations by different participants on the reading, followed by discussion. Location: Café in Newcastle West, Fenham – contact David (dv.inbox@icloud.com) for more details.
