  William of Champeaux
William was a student of Anselm of Laon, and, like others from his school, he was committed to the view that articles of faith are beyond the capacity of human reason to understand and human language to explain.
William argues that once a word is imposed—and a convention established—the word is significant because it is apt to signify whenever it is uttered (Iwakuma 1999 p109; forthcoming b).
William is committed to the belief that the mysteries of faith are beyond the scope of human reason, but this does not prevent him from discussing the issues philosophically and using his skill as a logician to prove his point.

 William of Champeaux - by Jud Evans
William held in effect that Socrates is a kind of physical 'layer-cake', built up of successive physical ingredients: substantiality, bodiliness, life, animality, humanity, Greekness, and so on-each subsequent ingredient narrowing or specifying its predecessors.
Anything falsely predicated or attributed to a subject which is accepted both by the utterer and patient is an ontological challenge to the rigidity of the designatory modalic compendium and renders the nexus de-rigified and liable to rejection as the true referent of the signifier.
All of these, however, are on the side exaggerated Realism and opposed both to the Nominalism of Roscelin and to the modified Nominalism of Abelard.

 [No title]
  His first major difficulty of this kind occurred while studying under William of Champeaux, a well-regarded teacher in Paris.
  Abelard disagreed with William’s theory of universals, so he not only humiliated his teacher in public debate, but also founded his own school in Corbeil (and later Melun) and stole most of his teacher's pupils.
Once he became established and respected as a logician, Abelard traveled to Laon, where he studied under Anselm of Laon and repeated his tried-and-true method of “challenge teacher, steal students.”  By 1114, he was back in Paris, teaching logic again.
