Duns Scotus and Thomas Aquinas on the Relationship of the Fall to the Incarnation

In this week's episode, Clinton and Fr Jamie talk about Duns Scotus, his theological significance and legacy. Starting with a look at the metaphysical critique of Scotus inspired by the Radical Orthodoxy school, encompassing the topics of nominalism, voluntarism and the univocity of being (we will explain!), we move on to talk about the significant differences between a Thomistic view of the fall, sin and the Incarnation and that of Scotus. After all that we consider the different answers given by Thomas and Scotus to the question of whether or not the Incarnation would have happened had mankind not fallen in the beginning. Yes, we really did get through all that in about 40 minutes!Thanks for listening.
