In the history of thought, Nicole Oresme is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Nicole Oresme as 14th century French philosopher and bishop.
Nicole Oresme was born at Fleury-sur-Orne in 1320. His recorded nationality is France. He studied at University of Paris and Collège de Navarre.
Thought in this period moved between the Islamic world, the Jewish communities and the Latin West, and the same texts were argued over in three traditions.
His academic posts were held at University of Paris.
The recorded fields of work are philosopher.
Among his principal works are Livre de yconomique, Livre de Politiques and Questiones de spera. The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.
That the work was done from France matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Nicole Oresme died in 1382, aged 62. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
