Abstract
John Duns Scotus (c. 1266–1308) was one of the most significant medieval philosopher‐theologians. This entry presents Scotus's proof for God's existence (on the basis of a division of reality into what is actual and what can be made actual), his derivation of the divine attributes (on the basis of divine perfection), his account of divine infinity, and his view on God's knowledge of contingent truths. It also summarizes his view that the Trinity can be known by natural reason, his claim that the divine essence is self‐individuating, and his theory that religious language is univocal, not analogous.
