John Duns Scotus on Divine plurality & the unseen realm
Never posed as a question in these terms
THE POSITION
Not framed. The divine-council question belongs to a much later reading of the Hebrew Bible and does not arise in his work.
WHY THERE IS NO QUOTATIONNo quotations. Scotus died in 1308 and the Latin is public domain, but the usable English translations are modern and in copyright, so these positions are paraphrased from standard scholarly accounts rather than reproduced.

ABOUT THIS FIGURE
Franciscan, the Subtle Doctor. Argued for the univocity of being and for a will free in its own right rather than moved by the intellect's judgment — the point where the Franciscan schools part from Aquinas.
