Richard of Campsall

Richard of Campsall

Richard of Campsall (Ricardus de Campsalle) (c.1285-c.1350) was an English theologian and scholastic philosopher, at the University of Oxford. He was a Fellow of Balliol College and then of Merton College. He is now considered a possible precursor to the views usually associated with William of Ockham [Jorge J. E. Gracia, Timothy B. Noone "A Companion to Philosophy in the Middle Ages" (2003), p. 561] .

He commented on Aristotle's "Prior Analytics" ["The History of the University of Oxford" (1984), p. 427.] , with emphasis on "conversion" and "consequences" [Norman Kretzmann, Jan Pinborg, "The Cambridge History of Later Medieval Philosophy" (1982), p. 293.] . He is an apparent innovator in speculation about God's foreknowledge, particularly concerning future contingents, around 1317 [M. J. F. M. Hoenen, "Marsilius of Inghen: Divine Knowledge in Late Medieval Thought" (1993), p. 251.] .
