Franciscan Field Guide Quotes

“Haecceitas (translated as “thisness”) is recognized as the principle of individuation and mutuality among all levels within reality. Scotus was most concerned with what philosophy said about God and the human spirit. Today, it can be said that the human person can reach a knowledge of the Divine Being by using reason alone, but without God’s freely chosen act of divine revelation, human beings can never comprehend God or enter into dialogue or communion with the Divine Being.”
