Duns Scotus Qoute Of The Day:
This is the first of a new installment to vent frustration. I cite my favorite passages from Duns Scotus (DSQD)!:
This is from the Prologue to the Ordinatio, P. 1 (the necessity of revealed knowledge)
"Now even though a form contrary to the inclination is induced only by means of some agent which does violence to the recipient, and even though a supernatural agent acts supernaturally only by inducing some form, still the precise character of "violent" arises by virtue of the relation of the recipient to the form, whereas that of "supernatural" arises precisely in virtue of the relation of the recipient to the agent."
I think this one sentence says it all!

Ouuuuccchhhh!!! My brain hurts.
Is your relationship with Duns going through a rough patch? Those Scots never can figure out how to express a cognitive thought encapsulated yet not hidden within the broad scope yet focused simplicity of a grammatically accurate sentence.
