	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Peter Abelard
		Taking Abelard's own account of the incident, it is impossible not to blame him for the temerity which made him such enemies as Alberic and Lotulph, pupils of Anselm, who, later on, appeared against Abelard.
		That Abelard was unduly conscious of these advantages is admitted by his most ardent admirers; indeed, in the "Story of My Calamities," he confesses that at that period of his life he was filled with vanity and pride.
		Abelard's influence on his immediate successors was not very great, owing partly to his conflict with the ecclesiastical authorities, and partly to his personal defects, more especially his vanity and pride, which must have given the impression that he valued truth less than victory.

	Abelard, Peter. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Abelard went (c.1100) to Paris to study under William of Champeaux at the school of Notre Dame and soon attacked the ultrarealist position of his master with such success that William was forced to modify his teaching.
		Abelard became master at Notre Dame but, when deprived of his place, set himself up (1112) at a school on Mont-Ste-Geneviève, just outside the city walls.
		Abelard was perhaps most important as a teacher; among his pupils were some of the celebrated men of the 12th cent., including John of Salisbury and Arnold of Brescia.

	Peter Abelard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pierre Abélard (in English, Peter Abelard) or Abailard (1079 – April 21, 1142) was a French scholastic philosopher and logician.
		The nominalist Roscellinus, the famous canon of Compiegne, claims to have been his teacher; but whether this was in early youth, when he wandered from school to school for instruction and exercise, or some years later, after he had already begun to teach, remains uncertain.
		The Abelard Centre for Education, a Toronto-based Private School, is named after Peter Abélard.

	TAPE 5: PETER ABELARD
		Humiliated and remorseful, Abelard became a monk: "It was, I confess, confusion springing from shame rather than devotion the result of conversion, which drove me to the refuge of the monastic cloister".
		Abelard was strongly criticised by St Bernard of Clairvaux (not to be confused with Bernard of Chartres), and in 1140 the provincial Council of Sens condemned propositions supposedly drawn from his writings (though in fact some of them may have come from writings of his students).
		In paragraph 28 Abelard's point is that universals and appellative or common nouns are not coextensive: "they are related to each other as that which exceeds and that which is exceeded", reciprocally - some common nouns fall outside the class of universals, some universals fall outside the class of common nouns.

	Peter Abelard
		Abelard was a French philosopher and theologian whose fame as a teacher and intellectual made him one of the most renowned figures of the 12th century.
		Abelard's teaching was condemned at Soursouns in 1121 and his first theological work had been burned as heretical.
		Abelard was unhappy in the role of monk, and because he and his fellow monks could not agree he parted company and resumed lecturing.

	ORB --Abelard
		Abelard was offered a post at Notre Dame, but was driven from Paris by William's enmity, and set up his school again in Melun; but when William moved his own school to a village outside Paris, Abelard returned and began to teach on the Mont Ste-Geneviève.
		Abelard's decision to be a scholar rather than a soldier is thus presented not as a rebellion against his father's manner of life, but rather as a following in the footsteps of his role-model.
		Abelard tells us that she was the niece of one Fulbert, a canon of Notre Dame, 'and so much loved by her that he had done everything in his power to advance her education in letters.' That is a very curious statement.

	Biography: Peter Abelard, abbot, theologian, philosopher (21 Apr 1142)
		When Heloise became pregnant, Abelard wanted to marry her, but she argued that he was a great philosopher, destined to change the intellectual history of the world, and that his work was far too important to be imperilled by the consequences of marriage.
		Abelard was summoned to the Council of Sens in 1141, expecting to debate the matter with Bernard, only to find that the Council had already decided to condemn him and would not even permit him to speak in his own defense.
		Abelard remained at Cluny for a while and then was brought by friends to the priory of St. Marcel (a daughter house of Cluny), where he died 21 April 1142.

	Peter Abelard
		Abelard's theory of substantial integral wholes is not a pure mereology in the modern sense, since he holds that there are privileged divisions: just as a genus is properly divided into not just any species but its proximate species, so too the division of a whole must be into its principal parts.
		Abelard holds that the signification of a term is the informational content of the concept that is associated with the term upon hearing it, in the normal course of events.
		Abelard maintains that the part is essentially different from the integral whole of which it is a part, reasoning that a given part is completely contained, along with other parts, in the whole, and so is less than the quantity of the whole.

	Irvine, "Abelard's Negotiations of Gender"
		Abelard's narrative of identity anxieties in his Letter of Consolation to a Friend,[1] incorrectly called by its modern editorial title, the Historia calamitatum (c.1132), is well known, but the significance of Abelard's representations of self and the body and his strategies for remasculinization have not yet become a concern of modern scholars.
		Abelard's narratives of emasculation and remasculinization participate in a large body of discourse and genres that represent bodily mutilation and stories of castration anxieties generally, and the cultural meaning of the events narrated in Abelard's letters must be sought in the larger social system of values and identities within which they were produced.
		Abelard's ego-ideal at the close of the letter is that of father, the paternal provider of a community of daughters, Heloise's convent of the Paraclete.

	Peter Abelard, 1079-1142
		Abelard founded the school of the Paraclete near Nogent-sur-Seine in 1125, left to become abbot of St. Gildas in Brittany, and returned to Paris to lecture at St. Geneviève, where John of Salisbury became his pupil in 1136.
		Abelard died at the Cluniac priory in St. Marcel-sur-Saône in 1142 and was buried with Heloise.
		Abelard, it is true, was a monk and an abbot, but he became such by force of circumstances and not from choice.

		After the baby was born, Heloise and Abelard returned to Paris and were secretly married in the presence of her uncle.
		Abelard entered the Abbey of St. Denis, but later sought the protection of Peter the Venerable after being condemned by the Church for his unorthodox theological views.
		Corsaro notes that his greatest challenge as a librettist was to capture the eloquence of their letters — only nine of which survive — in the context of spoken and sung dialogue, and to extrapolate a logical sequence of events from their correspondence.

	TAPE 6: ABELARD (CONT.); em>ABBREVIATIO MONTANA</em>
		Abelard will call "being a something" a status: a vague and not particularly suitable word, but he needs some term to refer to these non-things in which things agree.
		There are some who identify the mental grasp with the image, whereas Abelard distinguishes the act of understanding from the image to which it is directed.
		The original aspect of Abelard's theory of universals is his account of how they can have meaning even though there are in reality no universal things to which they can refer.

		Abelard (1079-1142), the perfector of nominalism, the basis of modern empiricism, was arguably the first modern thinker.
		Heloise treats Abelard as her superior, as in intellect and learning--and years--no doubt he was, just as he was superior to his masculine contemporaries.
		Abelard and Heloise, their love all too literally cut short, deserve to be called the creators of the modern ideal of marriage founded on the voluntarily shared tenderness of a couple who shelter each other from the harshly competitive world of the marketplace.
