 Auriol modified Scotus’ view on the univocity of the concept of being. While accepting Scotus’ view that ‘being’ is univocal both between God and creatures and between substance and accidents, Auriol nevertheless heavily criticized Scotus for maintaining that being was contracted to the most general genera through various “qualitative differences” that themselves were not included under the concept of being; on Scotus’ view, being itself became like a genus that was contracted through an outside difference. Auriol rejected this view on the grounds that this “outside difference” was an illusion; according to Auriol, nothing escapes the concept of being. Instead Auriol maintains that the concept of being is an indeterminate concept that grasps all beings at once and equally. This concept of being itself has no determinate content; instead it contains within itself implicitly all other concepts that the intellect could possibly form. Being, then, for Auriol is not contracted to its inferiors through any added difference, but merely through explicating what is already contained implicitly and indeterminately in the concept of being (Brown 1964; Brown 1965; Goris 2002; Pickavé 2004; Aertsen 2012, pp. 433–56). As with many other topics, the history of the reception of Auriol’s view on the univocity of the concept of being remains to be written, but the important fifteenth century Thomist, John Capreolus, copied half of his eleven page treatment of this issue verbatim from Auriol’s Scriptum only to reject Auriol’s view in favor of a more Thomistic one. (See Brown 1964, p. 6, esp. n. 10.)
