On Truth, the Truth of Existence, and the Existence of Truth: A Dialogue with the Thought of Duns Scotus
Philosophy and Theology 27 (2):389-425 (2015)
Abstract
In order to make sense of Scotus’s claim that rationality is perfected only by the will, a Scotistic doctrine of truth is developed in a speculative way. It is claimed that synthetic a priori truths are truths of the will, which are existential truths. This insight holds profound theological implications and is used on the one hand to criticize Kant's conception of existence, and on the other hand, to offer another explanation of the sense according to which the existence of things is grasped.
