Dear all, The next meeting of the Moral Sciences Club will be held Tomorrow (10th November). We are delighted to welcome Roxane Noël (Cambridge), who will be giving a talk entitled 'Say It like You Mean It: An Investigation of Abelard’s Legacy in Twelfth-Century Logic'. The abstract for the talk is as follows:
The problem of universals is often seen as one of the central issues in medieval philosophy, opposing nominalists to realists. This talk is part of a broader project aiming to shed more light on nominalism after Abelard’s death, i.e. in the second half of the twelfth century. Here, I focus on the use of the technical notion of ‘*sermo*’ in two texts from this period, the *Summa Dialectice Artis* and the anonymous commentary on the Categories from Ms Oxford Bodleian Library D’Orville 207, to show how these texts can be linked to Abelardian thought, and what it means for the history of nominalism. The meeting will be held from 2:30 until 4:15 on Zoom: https:/ <https://zoom.us/j/98343588455>/zoom.us/j/98343588455 <https://zoom.us/j/98343588455> (Meeting ID: 983 4358 8455).
