The blessed '''John Duns Scotus''' (Iohannes Duns Scotus OFM, Jean Duns Scot, Giovanni Duns Scoto, Johannes Duns Skotus, Juan Duns Escoto, Iohannes Dunstonensis, Iohannes Scotus, John the Scot) , was one of the most important [[theology|theologians]] and [[philosopher | philosophers]] of the High [[Middle Ages]] (the others being [[Thomas Aquinas]], [[William of Ockham]] and [[Bonaventura]].  He was nicknamed ''Doctor Subtilis'' for his penetrating and subtle manner of thought.

Scotus' influence on [[Roman Catholic]] thought has been considerable. The doctrines for which he is best known are the [[univocity of being]] (existence is the most abstract concept we have, applicable to everything that exists), the [[formal distinction]], a way of distinguishing between different aspects of the same thing, and the idea of [[haecceity]], a property supposed to be in each individual thing that makes it an individual.  Scotus also developed a complex argument for the [[Existence of God | existence of God]], and argued for the [[Immaculate conception]] of [[Mary]].
