    The difference as the individual beings in Duns Scotus’ metaphysics
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2017-07-30) Kılıç, Sinan
    In this article, Duns Scotus’s metaphysics will be examined in terms of the universal concepts and the individual beings as difference or one. These problems will be discussed in the perspective of Duns Scotus’ metaphysics that is related to transcendentals and being. Duns Scotus is the philosopher of being of beings and the individual beings as the difference because he does not destroy the individual being under the essence of the universal concepts, which is the object of metaphysic. In terms of his metaphysic the universal concepts that are the essence of beings are connected to the individual beings. In order to be able to understand the problem of the individual beings and the universal concepts like species and genius, we need to know what his metaphysics is. Therefore, in this study, firstly the relationship of metaphysics and the universal concepts will be explained; secondly, what the individual being as difference is. As a result, I argue that Duns’ the idea of individual beings belongs to the difference that is the one.
