Abstract
The present article consists of an analysis of distinction 19 of Duns
Scotus’ second commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard, with a focus on
fi nding in the structure of the text the question of the mortality of human corpo-
reality. The investigation of the topic introduces us to an arduous debate between
human nature and original sin, in the midst of a discourse that distinguishes the
elements of an anthropology mediated by philosophy and theology. The question
asks: would the fi rst man in the state of innocence have had an immortal body?
Scotus’ exposition of the arguments allows us to reconsider the view of human
nature in the state of innocence, and his conclusions can give us new vision of the
human being. The article provides the reader with the full translation of the text.
