Objeto y unidad de la lógica en Duns Escoto

Translated title of the contribution: Duns Scotus on the subject and unity of logic

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This work sets out to analyze the scotist determination of the subject of logic as far as it is a common intentional science. The analysis focus on the third of the Questions to Porphyry’s Isagoge, where Scotus presents and evaluates six candidates to the role of subject. Considering a set of scientific conditions to be fulfill by the subject of a science, Scotus concludes that the subject of logic is the syllogism. This work holds that besides syllogism, as proper object, it is possible to acknowledge the presence of a common object, the second intentions. It is also hold that the syllogism provides to logic a unity of attribution and not of predication.
