André of Neufchâteau

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

André of Neufchâteau[1] (died c. 1400) was a scholastic philosopher of the fourteenth century. He was a Franciscan from Lorraine, who wrote a number of works.[2]. He earned the name Doctor Ingeniosissimus (most ingenious Doctor)[3].

In philosophy he opposed Nicholas of Autrecourt[4], and also the nominalist Augustinian Gregory of Rimini[5]. On the dependence of natural law on divine will he followed Pierre d'Ailly[6].

His Sentences commentary was printed in Paris in 1514[7].
