John Dumbleton
John of Dumbleton (Lat. ''Ioannes De Dumbleton'') (''ca.''1310 – ''ca.'' 1349) was a member of the Dumbleton village community in Gloucestershire, a southwestern county in England. Although obscure, he is considered a significant English fourteenth-century philosopher for his contributions to logic, natural philosophy, and physics. Dumbleton’s masterwork is his ''Summa Logicae et Philosophiae Naturalis'' (Summary of Logic and Natural Philosophy), likely to have been composed just before the time of his death.
==Life==
John of Dumbleton is recorded to have become a fellow at Merton College, Oxford (''ca.'' 1338–9) and to have studied with the likes of William Heytesbury, Thomas Bradwardine, and Richard Swineshead. These four medieval scholastics held a common bond in that their study interests were in a similar field, but the method of study which brought these fellows into the same sphere of learning was of a more esoteric bent than modern university methods. They were interested in mathematics and logical analysis for the purposes of natural philosophy, theology, and an ''a priori'' type of mathematical physics (not to be confused with modern, empirical, experimental physics). Thus, the physics postulations and conjectures made by Dumbleton and his Oxford contemporaries were primarily done without any application of physical experimentation. Dumbleton, along with the other three Merton philosophers, received the moniker 'Calculators' for their adherence to mathematics and logical disputation when solving philosophical and theological problems.〔Robert Pasnau (ed.) and Christina Van Dyke (2nd ed.). ''The Cambridge History of Medieval Philosophy'' (Vol. II). (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2010) p.904〕〔Maurer, Armand A. (C.S.B.). ''A History of Philosophy: Medieval Philosophy'' (5th ed.). (USA: Random House, February, 1968) pp.256-60〕 After being named a fellow at The Queen's College, Oxford (1340) and making a return to Merton College (1344–45) Dumbleton is recorded to have studied theology in Paris (ca. 1345–47) for a brief period before returning to finish his studies at Merton College (1347–1348).〔Hackett, Jeremiah (Ed.). ''Medieval Philosophers (Dictionary of Literary Biography'' Vol. 115). (USA/United Kingdom: Gale Research International Limited, 1992)〕 The fact that no extant copy of Dumbleton's ''Summa Logicae et Philosophiae Naturalis'' is complete (nor edited) leads one to wonder if his death (''ca.'' 1349) abruptly terminated the possibility of its completion.
