John Duns Scotus

those who deny that some being is contingent should be exposed to torments until they concede that it is possible for them not to be tormented "John Duns Scotus" In reading about this man, I found an intellectual spirit whereas it is far better to know, than not know to be subject to change, then not be subject to change that reason be first when seeking that wisdom is there to find and not to create for what is, has already been whether it's found or not, whether it's understood or not if you know then you have found reason to know if you don't know then you have found reason to not know whether you know it or not doesn't mean it doesn't exist it means it may be out of reach, yet still exists "Frederic" 3/27/22 contest John Duns Scotus
