Gerson's proto-nominalism at Oxford

1334

Oxford's arts faculty in the 1330s fostered an unusually radical generation of logicians building on Ockham and developing formal logic and mathematical physics in ways not seen in Paris. Robert Holcot, Thomas Bradwardine, and William Heytesbury pushed speculation toward a science that remains recognizably modern in outline, questioning Aristotelian certainties with mathematical rigor that anticipated the Scientific Revolution.
