Abstract

This paper is a comparative analysis of the Logica Campsale Anglici, valde utilis et realis contra Ocham, from an anonymous author known as pseudo Richard of Campsall, and Ockham’s Summa logicae, in answer to which the former was written. We summarize both authors’s fundamental positions on five key issues: 1) the synonymy between abstract and concrete terms, 2) the reference of primary and secondary intentions, 3) the nature of the relations of predication between terms in propositions, 4) the status of the “passions of the soul” and 5) the prime signification of spoken words. Our aim is to sketch the polemic between Nominalism and Realism in the second decade of the XIVth century.
