What is the note you are being called to add to the great universal orchestra?Today Richard helps us unpack Chapter 12 of Eager to Love, "John Duns Scotus: Anything but a Dunce". Mike and Paul are then joined by Sr Mary Beth Ingham, who shares her journey of understanding Scotus. Ingham addresses the title of her book <a href="https://www.franciscanpublications.com/products/scotus-for-dunces-an-introduction-to-the-subtle-doctor?srsltid=AfmBOord4cmZspiud8Jc_B3nja1yr4vBGUXAbZhuH761Moazn0Fsl4y-&variant=7282427781">Scotus for Dunces: An Introduction to the Subtle Doctor</a>, explaining its playful yet meaningful approach to making Scotus's complex ideas accessible. The three discuss the importance of individuality within the context of community, the Univocity of being as a bridge between human experience and divine understanding, and the significance of recognizing the dignity of each person's experience. The conversation culminates in a reflection on the mysticism of Scotus and why his teachings matter for us today.Sr. Mary Beth Ingham, CSJ currently serves as Congregational Leader of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange, California.
