Richard of Campsall

Richard of Campsall (Ricardus de Campsalle) (c.1280-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.^[1]

He commented on Aristotle's Prior Analytics,^[2] with emphasis on "conversion" and "consequences".^[3] He is an apparent innovator in speculation about God's foreknowledge, particularly concerning future contingents, around 1317.^[4]
