Since the first publication of John Duns Scotus: The Harmony of Goodness in 1996, much work has
appeared in print on Scotus s theological and philosophical vision including the gradual completion
of the Vatican edition of Scotus s Ordinatio. Various congresses and international gatherings
continue to highlight the important significance of this great medieval thinker for the new millennium.
Drawing upon the work of several significant scholars combined with her own deepened
conviction that understanding Scotus s moral philosophy and theology must be understood within
the broader context of Franciscan spirituality including the role of Stoic and monastic influences on
the medieval Franciscans, Mary Beth Ingham, C.S.J., offers this new edition of John Duns Scotus: The
Harmony of Goodness. Scotus s articulation of a moral vision to lived harmony and to moral living as
a path of beauty is offered anew by Ingham in this new edition.

Review:
A very readable introduction to Scotus s moral philosophy, The Harmony of Goodness is also a
welcome shift to an aesthetic paradigm in presenting Scotus s ethics. The book showcases the
importance of the aesthetic dimension of Scotus s thought that has been neglected by medievalists.
Ingham s aesthetic turn is an example of kinship between pre-modern and postmodern hermeneutic
principles. Yet while the groundless interplay of postmodern aesthetics washes away the foundations
of the present-day world, pre-modern Scotistic aesthetics, on the contrary, promises to return it to
its solid philosophical ground. --Oleg Bychkov, Associate Professor of Philosophy, St Bonaventure University
In the time since The Harmony of Goodness was first published in the mid-nineties, Mary Beth
Ingham has become one of the leading scholars on Scotus and his understanding of moral living. In
this revision of her earlier work, she has used her considerable knowledge to provide even more of a
context out of which to understand the writings of the Subtle Doctor and to offer an even clearer
presentation of the thought of this important Franciscan thinker. --Fr. Thomas Nairn, OFM, Ph.D., Senior Director, Ethics, Catholic Health Association
Mary Beth Ingham s The Harmony of Goodness offers a finely tuned study of John Dun Scotus
marked by clarity and conviction. No one is more adept and accomplished than Ingham when
it comes to exploring, articulating, and retrieving the intricate thought of the Subtle Doctor for
contemporary readers. In The Harmony of Goodness, she provides a compelling ethical worldview
that is grounded in the Franciscan belief in the goodness of both the Creator and Creation, and the
invitation to live accordingly --Dr. Timothy Johnson, Professor and Department Chair, Humanities, Flagler College
