Abstract

In the first three questions on the third book of his commentary on Aristotle Physics Hugolinus ab Urbeveteri deals with a very important topic in the late medieval debate on semantic and natural philosophy: the nature of motion. To endorse a parsimonious ontology - according to which motion is nothing different from the moving thing and the successive acquisition or loss of a form or of space -one has to face William Ockham's semantic analysis of expressions such as "motus est" and the reduction of ontology to permanent beings.The three questions edited in this paper bear witness to the intellectual effort utilized to avoid either the Scylla of realism or the Carybdis of the more radical outcomes of Ockham's criticism.
