This paper it’s about the apparent conflict between divine omnipotence and human freedom. Duns Scotus’s argument is that neither the divine omnipotence nor grace that infuses suppresses inside determination of the human will. On the contrary, God’s omnipotence is revealed as love and freedom, and so the man comes into being from love and divine freedom that sustains and configured. That is, freedom is the foundation of all creation, and from that same logic, the human being is essentially free.
