Abstract
The constellation language-logic in medieval philosophy (2): Duns Scotus to De Rivo. This
second in a series of two articles continues the attempt to provide an in-depth overview of some
of the most prominent – and some of the most underpublished - medieval thinkers’ stances on
the constellation of language and logic, thus as a combined and condensed problem in western
philosophy between the 5th and 15th centuries. The two articles form part of a rehabilitating
series of modern-critical articles on understated and marginalised themes, texts and figures in
medieval philosophy. The positions of the well-known philosophers that are covered in the
two articles, St Augustine, Peter Abelard, St Thomas Aquinas, John Duns Scotus and William
of Ockham, are juxtaposed with some less familiar philosophical positions, amongst others
those of Boethius, Peter of Spain, John Wyclif and Peter de Rivo.
