I can't edit posts at the moment, so I'm just starting a new one on the same old subject. I thought I'd post the link I've been reading off of for anyone whose curious to glance over. It's about 70 pages long, so I doubt anybody's going to want to read this for fun. Treatise on God as the First Principle

Scotus is an amazing architect of reason. He builds up a bunch of conclusions and uses them to prove his points, slowly putting one conclusion upon another. He tests each piling by considering objections, and then moves on. As I said before, his reasoning is very concentrated. There is a considerable language barrier to overcome to really tap into his Aristotelian Medieval Christian thinking.
