极端的“唯名论”创始人。主张宇宙中只有单一、个别的具体实在（如具体的某匹马），而那些所谓的种、属、共相只是人们发出的“声音、气流”。
An uncompromising scholar from northern France and the undisputed fiery founder of medieval Nominalism. Naturally combative and fearless in debate, he provoked the Church's fury by proposing an extreme version of nominalism and by analyzing the Trinity into three distinct divine substances. Condemned at the Council of Soissons and threatened with total ostracism, he spent his life wandering in exile, his academic fame spreading through the wilderness.
Roscelinus was the incendiary who lit the fuse of Nominalism. He boldly challenged the objective reality of universals — general concepts such as 'humanity,' 'justice,' 'virtue,' 'genus and species' — which had reigned unchallenged for over 1,200 years since the Athenian Academy. He proclaimed: universals have not the slightest objective, physical reality. The bedrock of the world is composed of individual, concrete, tangible particular things standing alone. Universal terms are nothing more than a puff of breath, a vibration of air (*flatus vocis*) that we emit after birth for the convenience of vocal labeling. Beyond tangible individual objects, no conceptual reality exists. This question tore open the Scholastic edifice at its physical and logical seams.
"Abstract, lofty universal concepts — universals — possess not a shred of objective existence. They are merely sounds produced by the human voice, a weightless breath of air. Beyond the name, there is nothing."
洛色林那撕碎一切玄学的冷酷断言：普遍共相仅仅是一口划过空气、瞬息四散消退的空气发出虚声（Flatus Vocis）。如果这个原理是对的：那么你平时口头高举、为之拼搏到死去活来的那些‘xx阶级、考研绩点排位、高尚人设、公司尊严、完美品牌’，本质上是不是也无非只是一堆被人类主观赋予高大能量的‘赛博概念气声’？除了你自己这具真切生存喘气的个别肉身和对当下切肤事物的真实处理外，世界上还有什么真理是值的你去为之虚荣自焚？
This is the greatest rupture in the history of epistemology. Plato staked all true reality on transcendent, abstract, perfect Forms inhabiting a realm of Ideas. Roscelinus wheeled around and pierced that realm with a single thrust, declaring that only the concrete rabbit, the particular stone, the lump of earth are real — concepts are dead words, and individual living things are the sole reality.
When examining our social and human entanglements, should humanity sacrifice individual lives on the altar of eternal conceptual ideals (Realism), or should the comfort and survival of each individual body be placed above all grandiose slogans (Nominalism)?
