An Illustrated Brief History of Western Philosophy, ch. 9

The Oxford Philosophers is the subject of this chapter marching through Scotus, Ockham, and Wyclif. Scotus was an opponent of Aquinas, as seemed to be Oxford at this point in time. Ockham is best known for his "razor", but has much to offer for the logic of language and political theory. I had never been introduced to "Oxford's Calculators" before who introduced a highly formalized and pure logic. John Wyclif takes up universals. He was also the inspirer of the first translation of the Bible into English.
