**We Begin Our 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.” Scotus is also an important philosophical influence and background for understanding thinkers such as **Heidegger, Deleuze, and much of modern philosophy**. The text - John Duns Scotus Philosophical Writings - [https://share.google/ahyLy6BZdZSE1059Z](https://share.google/ahyLy6BZdZSE1059Z) This week we examine: What is philosophy trying to discover? Section I (pp. 3–9): "Concerning Metaphysics," "Concept and Articulation of the Transcendental," "Primacy of “being” among the other transcendentals" 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.
