The following study has a threefold aim: (1) to give an historically exact interpretation of the frequently misunderstood teaching of Ockham on the notitia intuitiva as regards non-existents; (2) to substantiate this interpretation by a revised edition of one key text; (3) to prepare the ground for this edition by a short critical study of the text of the Reportatio Ockham.
1 I am very grateful for the valuable help given to me in preparing this article by Fr. Sebastian Day, O.F.M., who is working on a comprehensive study on the notitia intuitiva under my direction. Google Scholar
The following works will be simply quoted by name and pages: Hochstetter, E., Studien zur Metaphysik und Erkenntnislehre Wilhelms von Ockham, Berlin 1927, Walter de Gruyter Co.— Gilson, E., The Unity of Philosophical Experience, New York 1937, Charles Scribner's Sons. Google Scholar
2 For further details we refer to Hochstetter, p. 27 ss. and to Vignaux, P, “Nominalisme”, in: Vacant, , Diction. de Théol. cath., t. 11, pt. 1 (1931), col. 752 s. and 767 ss.Google Scholar
3 Ordinatio, prol. q. 1 X (our edition, Paderborn 1939, Schöningh, p. 19); cfr. below, Rep. II, q. 15 E. Note that Ockham proves (in X-Y) also that sensitive intuitive knowledge does not suffice for knowing a contingent truth, which, of course, is a proposition, but only intellective intuitive knowledge of material or immaterial things: “ ad notitiam alicuius veritatis contingentis non sufficit notitia intuitiva sensitiva, sed oportet ponere praeter illam etiam notitiam intuitivam intellectivam.” Y (p. 21).Google Scholar
4 “Patet etiam, quod intellectus noster pro statu isto non tantum cognoscit ista sensibilia, sed in particulari et intuitive cognoscit aliqua intelligibilia, quae nullo modo cadunt sub sensu, cuiusmodi sunt intellectiones, actus voluntatis, delectatio consequens et tristitia et huiusmodi, quae potest homo experiri inesse sibi ” l.c. HH (p. 29); cfr. Y (p. 22).Google Scholar
5 “Et ista erit intuitiva. Et illa est notitia, a qua incipit notitia experimentalis, quia universaliter ille, qui potest accipere experimentum de aliqua veritate contingente, et mediante illa de veritate necessaria, habet aliquam notitiam incomplexam de aliquo termino vel re, quam non habet ille, qui non potest sic experiri. Et ideo sicut secundum Philosophum 1° Metaphysicae et 2° Posteriorum scientia istorum sensibilium, quae accipiuntur per experientiam, de qua ipse loquitur, incipit a sensu, id est, a notitia intuitiva istorum sensibilium, ita universaliter notitia scientifica istorum pure intelligibilium accepta per experientiam incipit a notitia intuitiva intellectiva istorum intelligibilium.” l.c. Z (p. 25); cfr. below Rep. II, q. 15 G. Google Scholar
6 “Notitia abstractiva potest accipi dupliciter: uno modo, quia est respectu alicuius abstracti a multis singularibus, et sic cognitio abstractiva non est aliud quam cognitio alicuius universalis, abstrahibilis a multis. Aliter accipitur cognitio abstractiva, secundum quod abstrahit ab existentia et non-existentia et ab aliis conditionibus, quae contingenter accidunt rei vel praedicantur de re ” l.c. Z (p. 24). Google Scholar
7 Ockham sometimes includes in this imperfect intuitive knowledge the knowledge of future contingent facts also; for instance Rep. II, q. 16JJ; q. 20 E, but he does not give further details. Google Scholar

9 “Per notitiam abstractivam immediate sequentem notitiam intuitivam nihil fit nec aliquod capit esse praeter ipsam notitiam abstractivam, quia idem totaliter et sub eadem ratione est obiectum notitiae intuitivae et abstractivae immediate sequentis; ergo sicut nihil est medium inter obiectum intuitive cognitum et ipsam notitiam intuitivam, ita nihil est medium inter obiectum et notitiam abstractivam.” Ord. I, d. 27, q. 3 J; cfr. prol. q. 1 TT (p. 43 ss).Google Scholar
10 Another point in Hochstetter's interpretation seems to be confused. The excellent interpreter of Ockham finds (p. 75) a difference, if not an opposition, to Ockham's former ideas about the teachings of recordative knowledge (Quodl. I, q. 13 and Rep. II, q. 15; IV, q. 12). But it is important to note that Ockham deals with different problems. Abstractive and conceptual or universal knowledge are not always the same. In addition, the fact of remembrance is a judgement, and by this surpasses the incomplex or abstractive knowledge or imperfect intuitive knowledge which by definition is no judgement. Of this judgement, Rep. IV, q. 12 affords an excellent analysis. Google Scholar
11 See quotations below in Rep. II, q. 15 E, note 14. Cfr. Ord., prol. q. 1AA (p. 26); the references in the text refer to this question. Google Scholar
12 Though it is very likely that the Ordinatio contains in a revised form the Reportatio on the first book, to which II, q. 15 several times refers, nevertheless, we do not know to what extent Ockham revised his original reportation. Google Scholar
13 That this was imputed to St. Bonaventure's theory of illumination, proves once more that very clear theological notions are imperatively needed. Gilson (p. 55 s). finds himself unable to distinguish a more special (but non-supernatural) divine influence on our knowledge from a supernatural influence, if the more special influence is distinct from the general influence of God. And since he would be glad to know what the difference between a more special and natural and a special and supernatural influence could be, I can answer that the one belongs to the natural equipment of human nature (like the general influence which is naturally added), while the other does not. To the first, nature has a natural right, because it is willed by God in this natural insufficiency; to the other, nature has not a natural right. The first is more special, because it does not concern all creatures, but only intellectual creatures, and nevertheless general, because it concerns all intellectual creatures. Is not some generality even contained in the special supernatural influence? There is a dogma of the generality of redemption.Google Scholar
14 “Praeterea: In illo articulo fundatur illa propositio famosa theologorum: quidquid Deus producit mediantibus causis secundis, potest immediate sine illis producere et conservare. Ex ista propositione arguo sic: Omnem effectum, quem potest Deus mediante causa secunda, potest immediate per se; sed in notitiam intuitivam corporalem (om. P) potest mediante obiecto; ergo potest in eam immediate per se. Praeterea: Omnis res absoluta distincta loco et subiecto ab alia re absoluta potest per divinam potentiam existere alia re absoluta destructa; sed visio stellae in caelo tam sensitiva quam intellectiva est huiusmodi: ergo etc.” Quodl. VI, q. 6. The quotations will be according to the more common Strassburg-edition 1491 (quoted as S), the text is revised according to the Paris-edition 1487 (quoted as P) and the oldest known manuscript Vatic. lat. 3075, written in 1333 (quoted as V). Because of this revision we will bring almost the entire questions V, 5 and VI, 6 of the Quodlibeta into the footnotes, and add variants mostly of V and P Google Scholar
15 “Praeterea: Deus per eandem notitiam videt rem esse, quando est, et non esse, quando non est; ergo ita potest esse in proposito sine repugnantia.” Quodl. V, q. 5. Cfr. Ord., prol. q. 1 HH (p. 29): “Patet etiam ex praedictis, quomodo Deus habet notitiam intuitivam omnium, sive sint, sive non sint, quia ita evidenter cognoscit creaturas non esse, quando non sunt, sicut cognoscit eas esse, quando sunt.”—About this knowledge of God see Ordin. I, d. 38, q. un. M, and our edition of the Tractatus de praedestinatione etc., which will be published soon. Google Scholar
16 “Secunda conclusio est, quod naturaliter cognitio intuitiva non potest causari nec conservari obiecto non existente (praesente V). Cuius ratio est: quia effectus realis non potest conservari nec produci de non-esse ad esse ab illo, quod nihil (non V) est; et per consequens naturaliter loquendo requirit tam causam producentem quam conservantem.” Quodl. VI, q. 6. Google Scholar
17 “Probo primum: Quia licet sit inconveniens, quod eadem notitia sit causa totalis unius (om. V) iudicii et iudicii contrarii respectu eiusdem passi, tamen non est inconveniens, quod sit causa partialis unius iudicii, quando res existit, et similiter causa partialis iudicii contrarii, quando res non existit. Et sic est in proposito.” Quodl. V, q. 5. Google Scholar
18 “Sed contra: Hoc dato sequitur, quod Deus non posset causare in nobis unum actum cognoscendi, per quem apparet nobis res esse praesens, quae est absens, quod falsum est, cum hoc non includat contradictionem. Assumptum probatur: quia ista cognitio non est intuitiva per te, quia (et V) per illam apparet res esse, quando est, et non esse, quando non est; nec abstractiva: quia per illam non apparet res esse praesens.” Quodl. V, q. 5. Google Scholar
19 “Ad primum istorum dico, quod Deus non potest causare in nobis cognitionem talem, per quam evidenter appareat nobis rem esse praesentem, quando est absens, quia hoc includit contradictionem: nam cognitio evidens importat, quod ita sit in re, sicut denotatur per propositionem, cui fit assensus per cognitionem, et per consequens (per cognitionem VP, seq. om. V; ut P) cum cognitio evidens huius propositionis: res est praesens, importat rem esse praesentem (et add. VP), oportet quod res sit praesens. Aliter non erit cognitio evidens. Et tu ponis, quod sit absens. Et ita ex illa positione cum cognitione evidente sequitur manifesta contradictio, scilicet quod res sit praesens et non praesens. Et ideo Deus non potest causare talem cognitionem evidentem. Tamen Deus potest causare actum creditivum, per quem credo rem esse praesentem, quae est absens. Et dico, quod ista cognitio creditiva (credita V) erit abstractiva, non intuitiva. Et per talem actum fidei potest apparere res esse praesens, quando est absens, non tamen per actum evidentem.” Quodl. V, q. 5. Google Scholar
20 “Praeterea: Quod convenit actui secundum substantiam actus, si substantia eius maneat eadem quocumque alio posito, adhuc tale (om. V) potest sibi convenire; sed substantia visionis manet eadem, re non existente, per potentiam divinam; ergo non repugnat sibi saltem partialiter causare talem assensum, qualem prius causavit, re existente, et per consequens hoc potest sibi competere.” Quodl. V, q. 5. Google Scholar
21 “Ad aliud concedo, quod si per potentiam divinam visio remaneat, re non existente, non repugnat sibi causare partialiter talem assensum, si omnes aliae causae requisitae con-currant; tamen repugnat sibi causare talem assensum totaliter et partialiter (et p./om.P) sine aliis causis. Et ita cum existentia rei sit causa partialis illius assensus evidentis, impossibile est, quod causetur naturaliter sine existentia rei.” Quodl. V, q. 5. Google Scholar
22 “Praeterea: Hoc dato, sequitur, quod visio posset esse, et tamen quod per illam nec apparet res esse nec non esse. Consequens est contra te. Assumptum probatur per illud principium commune: Ubi (om. V) quodlibet aliquorum convenit alicui contingenter, si non sit contradictio, Deus potest facere ipsum sine omnibus simul. Sic enim probatur potissime materiam posse esse sine omni forma. Sed virtute visionis aliquis potest aliquando scire rem esse et aliquando scire rem non esse. Ergo non est contradictio, quod neutrum sibi conveniat. Ad aliud concedo illud principium et conclusionem et totam deductionem: quia non est contradictio, quod visio rei sit, et tamen quod per illam visionem nec iudicem rem esse nec non esse, quia Deus potest facere visionem sine omni assensu tali; sed per naturam non (om. V) potest hoc fieri.” Quodl. V, q. 5. Google Scholar
23 On this question, in connection with the problem of a three-valued Logic in Ockham and others, I am preparing a study. The treatment of Michalski on this subject needs revision: Cfr. “Le problème de la volonté à Oxford et à Paris au XIVe siècle,” Studia philosophica, 2 (Lemberg 1937), 296 ss.Google Scholar
24 “Praeterea: Hoc dato non posset Deus causare assensum evidentem respectu huius contingentis: haec albedo est, albedine non existente: quia visio albedinis causat assensum evidentem respectu huius: haec albedo non est, et intellectus non videtur (potest P) assentire oppositis simul; ergo etc.” Quodl. V, q. 5. Google Scholar
25 “Ad ultimum dico, quod Deus non potest facere assensum evidentem huius contingentis: haec albedo est, quando albedo non est, propter contradictionem, quae sequitur: quia assensus evidens denotat sic esse in re, sicut importatur per propositionem, cui fit assensus; sed per istam propositionem: haec albedo est, importatur, quod albedo sit; et per consequens, si sit assensus evidens huius (om. S): haec albedo est, et positum est, quod haec albedo non sit, et ita hypothesis cum notitia evidente includit manifeste contradictionem, scilicet quod albedo sit et albedo non sit (et ita /om. V).” Quodl. V, q. 5. Google Scholar
26 “Concedo tamen, quod Deus potest facere assensum eiusdem (illius V) speciei cum illo assensu evidente respectu illius contingentis (conclusionis P; seq. importatur/om. V): haec albedo est, quando illa albedo non existit; sed ille assensus non est evidens, quia non est ita sicut in re, sicut importatur per propositionem, cui fit assensus.” Quodl. V, q. 5. Google Scholar
27 “Et si dicis: Deus potest facere assensum evidentem huius contingentis mediante existentia rei sicut mediante causa secunda; ergo potest hoc facere se solo.—Respondeo, quod haec est fallacia figurae dictionis, sicut hic (s.h./om. V): Deus potest facere actum meritorium mediante voluntate creata, ergo potest facere se solo; et hoc est propter diversam connotationem hinc inde.” Quodl. V, q. 5. As to this favored example see Summa Log. III (4) c. 10; ed. Venice, 1508, fol. 102 ra.Google Scholar
28 This would be the answer to Gilson's criticism (p. 81–82).—There are no two answers in Ockham to the same problem, and there is no evidence in Ockham that “the fact remains that human knowledge would be practically indistinguishable from what it is, even though all its objects were destroyed ” (p. 82). Consequently it is not correct to say: “In other words, if it is possible for God to make us perceive as real an object that does not really exist, have we any proof that this world of ours is not a vast phantasmagoria behind which there is no reality to be found?” (p. 81). In fact, the expression in italics (mine) belongs to an imaginary world, for Ockham had called it a contradiction to perceive as real an object that does not exist; not, however, to perceive intuitively an object as not real .Google Scholar

31 Let us add that intuitive knowledge can only concern possibilia: “Dico, quod contradictio est, quod visio sit et quod (tamen P) illud, quod videtur, non sit in effectu nec esse possit. Ideo contradictio est, quod chimaera videatur intuitive. Sed non est contradictio, quod illud, quod videtur, nihil sit in actu extra causam (animam S; seq. om. SP) suam, dummodo possit esse in effectu vel aliquando fuit in rerum natura. Et sic est in proposito. Unde Deus ab aeterno vidit omnes res factibiles, et tamen tunc nihil fuerunt.” Quodl. VI, q. 6.

33 “Respondeo: Hic non est aliqua habitudo (bona similitudo P) arguendo, quod quia Deus potest facere talem visionem sine obiecto creato, a quo non dependet (illa visio add. P) nisi tamquam a causa secunda, ergo Deus potest videri intuitive et beatifice non exhibita sua praesentia actuali in ratione actualiter praesentis ipsi intellectui, a quo obiecto dependet illa visio sicut a causa prima. Quia quamvis secundum doctores Deus potest facere effectus proprios causarum secundarum sine illis causis secundis, non tamen potest aliquem effectum facere sine causa prima. Unde sicut non est possibile, quod color causet effective visionem suam in oculo, nisi sit actualiter praesens, ita non est possibile, quod Deus causet visionem in intellectu nisi exhibita sua actuali praesentia.” Quodl. VI, q. 6. Google Scholar
34 Guglielmo di Ockham, Lanciano 1931, p. 68. Abbagnano at least does not see the two different problems, when he writes: “Ritornando sull' argomento, egli finisce per concludere che la conoscenza intuitiva mediante la quale giudico dell' inesistenza di un oggetto è di ordine sopranaturale: è Dio che interviene a conservarla, quando si tratta di un oggetto reale che ha cessato di esistere, o che interveniene a produrla e a conservarla quando si tratta di un oggetto che non è mai esistito. Ma è chiaro che questa conclusione di Ockham non è una soluzione, bensì il riconoscimento esplicito che ogni soluzione logica della difficoltà è da ritenersi impossibile.” Google Scholar
35 De Philosophie van Occam in zijn Commentaar op de Sententien, Hilversum, Schipper (s. anno). Zuidema, who knows Hochstetter's study, speaks of a “regelmatige”, that is of a regular intervention of God as concerns human cognition.Google Scholar
36 p. 79s.—G. does not distinguish the two problems either, but proves by his reference to Hochstetter and Abbagnano that he does not think differently, when he writes: “Ockham has several times dealt with the difficulty but his successive answers have merely driven to despair his most conscientious historians” (p. 80). Google Scholar
37 The most conscientious historian, P Vignaux, was, as it seems, not driven to despair. He objects against Hochstetter: “Mais il ne faut pas oublier que l'affirmation et la négation d'existence n'ont pas, dans la doctrine, la même place: l'affirmation d'existence, l'évidence du fait sont la donnée première; la négation évidente d'une réalité n'est q'une possibilité ouverte devant l'esprit.” (l.c. [cfr. note 2] col. 768). And as to the deceiving God he remarks (against Hochstetter p. 19 and 57): “Mais Occam ne semble pas s'être posé le problème de discerner l'évidence des déceptions possibles: il ne se demand pas comment aller des idées aux choses, mais tient que selon l'ordre naturel, la connaissance a sa cause dans l'objet; il s'agit seulement de concevoir exactement cet ordre naturel, qui est contingent” (col. 769).

Antecedens assumptum videtur satis manifestum, quia obiectum in ratione obiecti est prius naturaliter actu; igitur universalitas, quae est propria conditio obiecti inquantum obiectum, praecedit actum intelligendi, et sub illa ratione oportet obiectum esse praesens, quia praesentia obiecti praecedit naturaliter actum intelligendi.” Google Scholar

Illud autem primum causatum non potest poni actus intelligendi, quia primus terminus actionis intellectus agentis est universale in actu; universale autem in actu praecedit actum intelligendi, sicut praedictum est in antecedente, quia obiectum sub ratione obiecti praecedit actum.” Google Scholar

Si non, igitur non potest habere aliquam operationem sibi propriam sine potentiis inferioribus, quia si non potest habere obiectum suum sibi praesens sine eis, non potest habere operationem sine eis. Si autem potest habere obiectum praesens absque eius praesentia potentiae inferiori, ergo habet. Haec consequentia probatur, quia agentia talis praesentiae obiecti, scilicet phantasma et intellectus agens sunt sufficienter appropinquata intellectui possibili, et agunt per modum naturae, et ita causant necessario in illo praesentiam cuius est receptivus; modo obiectum non est praesens intellectui possibili in cognitione abstractiva ante actum elicitum, nisi per aliquod repraesentativum, quod voco speciem, et sic habeo propositum.” Google Scholar
