Walter Of Morta(I)Gne [1]

Morta(i)gne, Walter Of

a noted scholastic of the 12th century, who embraced the realistic views in: philosophy, flourished as bishop of Laon, and died in 1174. He is best known as a logician, and is mentioned by John of Salisbury as the chief representative of the doctrine that "the same objects, according to the different condition (status) in which they are considered i.e., according as our attention is desired to their differences or to their likeness, to the indifferences or the consimile in them were either individuals, or species, or genera" (Metalog. 2:17). This doctrine is spoken of by the same author as no longer maintained by any one in his time. See Ueberweg, Hist. Philos. 1:387, 398.
