ELIAS, Gloria Silvana. Duns Scot: Divine wanting like foundation of wanting contingent human. Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2008, n.34, pp.281-291. ISSN 1668-8104.

The human will is essential and contingently free, according to the perspective of medieval philosopher Duns Escoto. In escotista metaphysics it is possible to speak of a contingent moral order, since the root of he himself is the divine will that operates with total freedom. In addition, as the divine will produces the creatures freely, by the same, the creatures were not created in a necessity order and are able to operate freely, giving origin to infinite configurations of possible realities. In that case, my free will can choose what to do and what no, to choose between possible and a its opposite one. In this sense, the objective of this writing is to raise - from the metaphysics of Duns Escoto- how the human action contains in its sine the contingency with which is equipped the possibility already indeed made. To show as well that the cause of the contingency in the world has its origin in free operating of a the first incausada efficient cause, that is God.

Keywords : contingence; liberty; possibility; will; causality.
