PLURALISM OF FORMS IN THE LIVING BEINGS ACCORDING TO JOHN DUNS SCOTUS

In this paper we present the position of Duns Scotus about the plurality of forms in living organisms, following the development in the various works he wrote. The Subtle Doctor assumes a new way to raise the issue, arguing that besides the soul and the body, the organs that make up the living beings also have their own substantial forms. Also, we introduce a debate about the acceptance or not of the forma corporeitatis by the Scottish Master, as interpreted by some contemporary scholars and a possible solution on this point.
