8. Modes of Existence / D. Universals / 4. Uninstantiated Universals

22125	Duns Scotus was a realist about universals [Duns Scotus, by Dumont]
	Full Idea: Duns Scotus was a realist on the issue of universals and one of the main adversaries of Ockham's programme of nominalism.
	From: report of John Duns Scotus (works [1301]) by Stephen D. Dumont - Duns Scotus p.206
	A reaction: The view of Scotus seems to be the minority view. It is hard to find thinkers who really believe that universals have an independent existence. My interest in Duns Scotus waned when I read this. How does he imagine universals?
