ABSTRACT
The issue of how to fit God into metaphysics troubled Scholasticism and posed a major challenge to integrating the Greek metaphysical worldview with biblical worldview based on revelation. Scotus's teaching of univocity of being entails that the concept of being applies to or is predicable of all beings, finite and infinite alike. After all, Scotus's revolution in metaphysics consists in having introduced a formal method that outlines the limits of the discipline. But the reality of things for the modern age that Husserl inhabits has become purely phenomenal. In Scotus's and Husserl's cases alike, there is an epistemological reduction to the manifestation of things in event of knowing, in effect, a phenomenological reduction. It conforms to what Husserl treats as phenomenal being, being that is also always for a subject, since a "phenomenon" is inherently an appearing to a subject. However, with univocity, there is no longer any need to refer to any higher being or superior order of reality.
