Scotus on Intuitive and Abstractive Cognition
In Hause Jeffrey P., Medieval Philosophy: Essential Readings and Contemporary Responses. Routledge. pp. 348-365 (2014)
Abstract
How should we understand intuitive cognition? Duns Scotus held that we have intuitive cognition only when objects cause our knowledge without any causal intermediary; if an intelligible species caused our knowledge, it would be abstractive cognition. Compared to abstractive cognition, intuitive cognition is the paradigmatic case of knowledge; by contrast, abstractive cognition is only a "second best."Author's Profile
