MAYOCCHI, Enrique Santiago. Potentia Dei and Its Concursus in the Natural World According to John Duns Scotus. Diánoia [online]. 2018, vol.63, n.80, pp.3-27. ISSN 0185-2450.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704913e.2018.80.1524.

John Duns Scotus molds his philosophical thought from a Christian perspective, in which an omnipotent divine action creates and preserves creatures. All what the creator produces ad extra is contingent, so whatever is added to physical reality belongs to an ontological and operational level. This paper aims to determine the extent and manner in which, according to the Doctor Subtilis, the potentia Dei operates on the natural world and to resolve a possible inconsistency when Scotus analyzes the ability of the homo viator to achieve certainty in the experiential knowledge.
