La Génesis de la Antropología Escotista: Ratio Seminalis y Principium Individuationis

This research aims to address the theoretical vacuum surrounding an integral vision of John Duns Scotus’s anthropology. Given the limited availability of Spanish translations and the dispersion of his anthropological thought throughout his vast corpus, this thesis provides an interpretive synthesis using the critical-hermeneutic method. The research proposes an epistemic shift: starting from an initial interest in corporeity, the study is redefined to explore what the author calls the "genesis of Scotist anthropology."

The core of the work is structured around two fundamental axes:

The analysis of seminal reason (ratio seminalis) as an explanation for the natural generation of the substantial form.

The principle of individuation (principium individuationis) understood from its ontological centrality.

Through the translation and analysis of key passages from the Lectura, the Ordinatio, and his commentary on Aristotle’s Metaphysics, the study examines how Scotus integrates metaphysics and gnoseology to present the human being as a positive, real, and singular entity. The study concludes that concepts such as the Instans of seminal reason and the Ultima realitas entis allow for a reformulation of the human mystery under a realistic and inductive ontology, positioning Scotus as an innovator who transcends the general interpretations of his time.
