A Complete Course Of Philosophy According To The Mind Of Scotus - Logic, Volume I - Bartolomeo Mastri

This first volume introduces logic as understood within the Scotist philosophical tradition, presenting a systematic course of reasoning grounded in the thought of John Duns Scotus. Mastri develops logic as the foundational discipline for philosophical inquiry, focusing on the structures of thought that govern definition, judgment, and inference.

The work follows a scholastic method characteristic of the Franciscan school, treating classical topics such as terms, propositions, universals, predication, and syllogistic reasoning. While engaging with Aristotelian logic, it interprets these themes through distinctively Scotist emphases, particularly precision in conceptual distinction and the formal analysis of intelligibility.

Clear and methodical, this volume serves both as an introduction to formal logic and as an entry point into the broader Scotist system, preparing the reader for later developments in natural philosophy and metaphysics within the same tradition.
