Abstract
The medieval doctrine of transcendentals is closely connected with a metaphysical conception of reality. In some studies suggested that nominalism meant beginning of end of metaphysics. John Buridan a medieval philosopher whose modernity claimed because of an alleged agreement between his metaphysics and Immanuel Kant's transcendental philosophy. In Buridan's thought a transformation would have occurred from a transcendental consideration in medieval sense to a transcendental consideration in Kantian sense, according to which objectivity is founded on human intellect itself. The consequence was that the transcendental consideration in medieval sense possesses only a nominal but no real significance. Buridan adopts main nominalist innovation of doctrine of transcendentals, logico-semantic approach. The subject of metaphysics is term being, convertibility of being and one is explained by theory of supposition, and their difference is understood according to connotation model.Keywords:Buridan; doctrine; medieval sense; metaphysics; nominalism; philosophy; transcendentals
