‘Potentia Ordinata’ vs ‘Potentia Absoluta’

In the third chapter the metaphysical concept of potency is further investigated in its inner relationships, which concern the opposition between potentia Dei absoluta and potentia Dei ordinata, and the theoretical result reached is to point out, in direct disaccord with the canonic system of Aquinas’ Summa Theologica, a substantial difference between the “jurisprudential model” of potentia Dei absoluta in Duns Scotus and the “logical model” of the same potentia Dei absoluta in William of Ockham.
