Univocity of being

John Duns Scotus, while not denying the analogy of being of Thomas Aquinas, nonetheless holds to a univocal concept of being.

[1] The claim here is that we understand God because we can share in his being, and by extension, the transcendental attributes of being, namely, goodness, truth, and unity.

"[5] Deleuze at once echoes and inverts Spinoza,[6] who maintained that everything that exists is a modification of the one substance, God or Nature.

For Deleuze, there is no one substance, only an always-differentiating process, an origami cosmos, always folding, unfolding, refolding.

Deleuze and Guattari summarize this ontology in the paradoxical formula "pluralism = monism".
