Abstract

This work intends to discuss about the human cognitive acts, specifically knowledge by intuition and by abstraction from the approach of John Duns Scotus, as well as establish the connection to intelligible species and their intentional content. For this, we will focus mainly on the analysis of Quaestio Quodlibetal xiii, in which Scotus develops one of the most innovative problematic knots of his no-ethics, namely: the difference between intuitive and abstractive mental acts, on the one hand, and between intelligible species and mental content, on the other. 

For this purpose, this article is organized in three parts, which do not necessarily match to the way John Duns Scotus’ text is exposed, but it is presented as a possible route of the complex issue within the exegetical approach. The interpretative analysis of both the central passages and the theses argued in them, is supported by  current studies that exist regarding the Scotist noetics, trying to make the agreement points of agreement as well as the conflict ones evident, with respect to what Scotus understands as cognitive acts, their relation to the object, and what he means when he talks about intelligible species and intentional content.
