		“Scotism” became the rival of “Thomism” in the schools.
		The effect of Duns Scotus’s work was to break up the harmony of faith and reason which had been asserted by St. Thomas, and which was of the essence of orthodox scholasticism.
		He admitted that there are probable arguments for the existence of God, but maintained the general thesis that whatever transcends experience belongs to faith.

	John Duns Scotus Criticism and Essays
		Although Scotus's official beatification awaits the completion of a standard, critical edition of his writings, Scotism, the school of theology based upon his work, prevailed in Roman Catholic thought in the universities of Europe for centuries after his death, and his intellectual legacy continues to engage a range of modern theologians and philosophers.
		Since his death, a growing Roman Catholic devotion to the cult of the Virgin likewise buoyed esteem for the “Marian Doctor” and his seminal defense of the Immaculate Conception.
		The sixteenth century and the rise of humanism witnessed a considerable backlash against the intellectual dominance of Scotism, leading to the popular designation of “Dunce,” derived from Duns, for a person deemed “incapable of thought.” Scotus's reputation survived the assault of the humanists, however, and maintained its theological supremacy.

		If we identify Scotism with a complex of theological ideas which found its origins (more or less) in Scotus, however, then we have to recognize that these ideas had enormous currency among thinkers who did not call themselves ‘Scotists’, foremost among them the Occamists.
		Seen in this light, Scotism was one of the most important intellectual currents on the eve of the Reformation.
		Accordingly, the emphasis in Scotism falls on the object of the will, namely the good (as opposed to the object of the intellect, the true), and on the proper act of the will, namely loving (as opposed to the proper act of the intellect, knowing).

		The trouble is that, if we make generalisations, they are bound to be questioned by the historians; however, if we don't make them, but canvass every single opinion proposed by the historians first (and many of these will be conflicting), then we shall never get round to drawing any conclusions for contemporary theology.
		If you opt for the former, you won't exactly be advancing our contemporary understanding of the issues and won't be establishing the basis for a synthesis between Aquinas and Scotus, though you will be providing a unique and valuable resource.

		His school of thought, Scotism, influenced many people in later ages, including Martin Heidegger and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
		Among the numerous ways of systematizing the faith, certain schools of theology stand out as particularly notable and viable throughout the Middle Ages and to the present day.
		The most important of these scholastic theologies were Thomism, developed from the teaching of Saint Thomas Aquinas; Augustinism, developed from Saint Augustine; Scotism, from John Duns Scotus; Nominalism, from William of Occam; and Suarazianism, formulated by Francisco Suarez, a 16th century Jesuit who tried to synthesize various schools.

		What is striking here is the degree to which Peter Martyr Vermigli and his fellow Reformer and former student Jerome Zanchi, for example, show continuity with Thomas and Scotus.
		The astonishing thing about the rise of Reformed scholasticism in the 1540s and 1550s is that its medieval roots run heavily to Thomism and Scotism, hardly at all to nominalism.
		This challenges the opinion of several prominent contemporary Roman Catholic and Protestant intellectuals, who credit the emphasis on the will in Protestant ethics to the influence of William of Occam rather than to medieval Augustinian antecedents.

		At the peak of Puritan power during the English Interregnum and after five of his Franciscan confrères had perished for their missionary work, our author tried boldly to claim modern cosmology and atomism as the unrecognized fruits of medieval Scotism.
		His hope was to revive English pride in the golden age of medieval Oxford and to defend English Franciscans as more legitimately patriotic and scientifically progressive than Puritan millenarians.
