Category:Named Theorems/Buridan

This category contains results named for Jean Buridan.

French philosopher who focused in particular on logic and the works of Aristotle.

Pupil of William of Ockham.

Sowed the seeds of the Copernican Revolution in Europe.

Developed the concept of impetus, the first step toward the modern concept of inertia, and an important development in the history of medieval science.

Most familiar through the thought experiment known as Buridan's Ass, but this does not actually appear in his extant writings.
