William of Champeaux (Guillelmus Campellensis, Guillelmus de Campellis, Willelmus Campallensis, Guillaume de Champeaux, Guillelmus de Champeaux, Wilhelm von Champeaux - ca. 1070-1122) was a scholastic theologian of the 11th century who taught at the cathedral school of Notre Dame in Paris and the monastery of St. Victor. He was a defender of realism in logic and metaphysics. He was a student of Anselm of Laon who, like others from his school, was committed to the view that articles of faith are beyond the capacity of reason to understand and of language to explain. This viewpoint brought him (and his student Bernard of Clairvaux) into conflict with his best known student Peter Abelard.
Life
Most of what we know of William's life and work comes to us from Abelard, who tells us that William was a discredited, defeated, jealous, and resentful man. Abelard claimed to have humiliated William in debate, driving him from the Paris schools.
