ABSTRACT
As we saw in Part I, Scotus’s argument for God’s existence arrives at the existence of an individual substance. Scotus believes that – with the caveats mentioned in chapter 9 above – it is possible to provide arguments to show that this divine substance is a Trinity of persons. The argument, in its first stages, goes more or less like this: there are internal divine productions; there are just two such productions, and one producer; the producer and the products are all persons. This yields the conclusion that there are just three divine persons. In chapters 10–12 I present these three stages of the argument. In chapter 13 I deal with the relationship between the persons and the divine substance.
