Roscellinus, Johannes

0.01 sec.

Roscellinus, Johannes (c. 1050–c. 1122)

French philosopher regarded as the founder of scholasticism because of his defence of nominalism (the idea that classes of things are simply names and have no objective reality) against Anselm.

Roscellinus was born in Compiègne and was the teacher of Peter Abelard in Brittany. Accused of heresy in 1092, he moved to England; after his conflict with Anselm, he moved to Rome. His views are known mainly from the writings of Anselm and Abelard.
