Abelard, the universals and the ideias: Platonism, non-realism and nominalism in the first half of the 12th century

| Sumario: | Given that Abelard is one of the most studied authors of the 12th century, the debate is still open today concerning not only his position in the dispute that, in the 12th century, pitted Vocales, or Nominales, against Reales, but also, in particular, his ‘nominalism’. Besides, research has favoured the question of universals as a central issue in characterising Abelard's nominalism, and even the nominalism of the 12th century. Starting from the doctrine on universals set out in the Glosses to Porphyry of his Logica ingredientibus, we propose here a reassessment of some of the most relevant Platonic elements in these pages and their implications for our understanding of the emergence and characterisation of the first medieval nominalism. |
