Nominalism

Definition

Who: William of Ockham; When: 1350-1500; Where: England; What:13th Century philosophical view and type of scholasticism via William of Ockham- denies the existence of a universal. Particulars cannot teach us about the universal because it does not exist. Faith, Hope, and Love don't have intrinsic merit, God chooses to give them value, and thus protects omnipotence of God. Nominalism relativizes everything (via moderna).  Luther argues against a Catholic Church rooted in Ockham.
