38Walter Burley and the Obligationes attributed to William of SherwoodHistory and Philosophy of Logic 4 (1-2): 9-26. 1983.The history of the mediaeval obligationes-literature has only recently begun to be studied.

But there is considerable doubt concerning the authenticity of the text attributed to Sherwood. The correct attribution and dating of this treatise is crucial for our understanding of the history of this literature. In this paper, we arg…Read more

73The problem of universals and wyclif's alleged "ultrarealism"Vivarium 43 (1): 111-123. 2005.John Wyclif has been described as "ultrarealist" in his theory of universals. This paper attempts a preliminary assessment of that judgment and argues that, pending further study, we have no reason to accept it. It is certainly true that Wyclif is extremely vocal and insistent about his realism, but it is not obvious that the actual content of his view is especially extreme. The paper distinguishes two common medieval notions of a universal, the Aristotelian/Porphyrian one in terms of predicatio…Read more

45How to Start and StopJournal of Philosophical Research 19 193-221. 1994.Mediaeval logicians often wrote about changes between contradictory states, for example a switch’s changing from being on to not being on. One of the questions discussed in these writings was whether at the moment the change occurs the changing thing is in the earlier or the later state. The present paper investigates the general setting for that question, and discusses the answer given by Walter Burley, an important early-fourteenth century author whose theory was a standard one. Burley’s theor…Read more

48The Cambridge Companion to Ockham (edited book)Cambridge University Press. 1999.The Franciscan William of Ockham was an English medieval philosopher, theologian, and political theorist.

This volume offers a full discussion of all significant aspects of O…Read more
