Instantiae and the Parisian Schools
Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of studying the logic of the twelfth-century Parisian schools, something to a great extent made possible by the work of Sten Ebbesen, is the development there of a strategy of producing and multiplying, endlessly so it seems, various kinds of argument known as instantiae . The discussion of instantiae in Ebbesen Anonymus Cantabrigiensis (AC) is brief but it can provide us with a tool to begin to understand the …
‘They had added not a single tiny proposition’
A study of the reception of Aristotle’s Prior Analytics in the first half of the twelfth century. It is shown that Peter Abaelard was perhaps acquainted with as much as the first seven chapters of Book I of the Prior Analytics but with no more. The appearance at the beginning of the twelfth century of a short list of dialectical loci which has puzzled earlier commentators is explained by noting that this list formalises the classification of exte…
The logical textbooks and their influence
Introduction The time at which Boethius wrote was not a great one in the history of logic and he himself was certainly not a great logician. His importance lies rather in acting as an intermediary between the logicians of antiquity and the those of the Middle Ages. ...
The Cambridge Companion to Boethius
Boethius (c.480–c.525/6), though a Christian, worked in the tradition of the Neoplatonic schools, with their strong interest in Aristotelian logic and Platonic metaphysics. He is best known for his Consolation of Philosophy, which he wrote in prison awaiting execution. His works also include a long series of logical translations, commentaries and monographs and some short but densely-argued theological treatises, all of which were enormously infl…
Self-Knowledge and Cognitive Ascent
Formal Consequence in Scotus and Ockham
Le colloque «Duns Scot à Paris, 1302-2002» (2-4 septembre 2002) a commémoré le sept centième anniversaire de l’arrivée, à l’Université de Paris, de Jean Duns Scot, l’une des rares dates connues dans la vie du plus grand philosophe et théologien du tournant des XIIIe et XIVe siècles. Il a permis de faire le point des dernières découvertes historiques et philologiques, et de donner un état des recherches scotistes en cours, qui ont connu un essor r…
The Cambridge Companion to Abelard
Peter Abelard (1079–1142) is one of the greatest philosophers of the medieval period. Although best known for his views about universals and his dramatic love affair with Heloise, he made a number of important contributions in metaphysics, logic, philosophy of language, mind and cognition, philosophical theology, ethics, and literature. The essays in this volume survey the entire range of Abelard's thought, and examine his overall achievement in …
Logic
A great deal of Peter Abelard's writing is concerned with what he regarded as logic, but which we would now classify as ontology or philosophical semantics. Following Cicero and Boethius, Abelard holds that properly speaking the study of logic has to do with the discovery and evaluation of arguments (LI Isag. 3.10). A necessary preliminary for this is an examination of the issues dealt with by Porphyry in the Isagoge and by Aristotle in the Categ…
Non-Reductive Arguments from Impossible Hypotheses in Boethius and Philoponus
Logjcjans in the twentieth century, like their predecessors in the twelfth, have argued with great heat over the proper account of conditional assertions, and in recent years relevantist logicians have proposed that the prevailing modal logic of the schools should be replaced with a logic which does not bring with it the so-called paradoxes of implication. In the twelfth century the debate proceeded in just the opposite direction as reJevantist t…

Obligations and Liars
The Logic of the Nominales, or, The Rise and Fall of Impossible Positio
John Buridan on Self-Reference
John Buridan was a fourteenth-century philosopher who enjoyed an enormous reputation for about two hundred years, was then totally neglected, and is now being 'rediscovered' through his relevance to contemporary work in philosophical logic. The final chapter of Buridan's Sophismata deals with problems about self-reference, and in particular with the semantic paradoxes. He offers his own distinctive solution to the well-known 'Liar Paradox' and in…
