Adam Wodeham
Adam Wodeham , also Adam de Wodeham , Adam of Wodeham or Adam Goddam and Adamus Goddamus (* 1295 near Southampton ; † 1358 ) was a medieval philosopher who belonged to the Franciscans and was one of the London students of Wilhelm von Ockham .
Wodeham's first philosophical training took place in the Franciscan study house in London. He studied from around 1317 to 1321 with Walter Chatton and then from around 1320 with Wilhelm von Ockham, whom he also served as secretary. He edited Ockham's Summa logicae and prepared it for publication. He himself is the author of the prologue and (presumably) chapter 51 of the first book.
When Ockham left for Avignon in 1324 , Wodeham was sent to Oxford to complete his studies there. At Oxford he heard the sentences lecture by Richard FitzRalph and then qualified himself for reading the Sentences of Peter Lombard . In the late 1320s he taught at the provincial school in Norwich . Later he was a Lector ( reading master ) at Greyfriars, a Franciscan College in Oxford. In 1339 he apparently traveled to Basel , survived the plague in 1348/49 and died in an English Franciscan monastery in 1358.
According to Jan Peter Beckmann , Wodeham expanded the epistemological and epistemological approach of Ockham's theory and - presumably as the first - relocated the subject of knowledge to the total content (“complexe signifabile”) of a state of affairs described by the conclusion .
