One legend about this man is that he once hit the future Pope Clement VI over the head with a shoe while competing for the wife of a German shoemaker. Along with Thomas Bradwardine, he was one of the few logicians that did not limit the explanation of human discourse to the logically ideal. Thus he used paradoxes of self-reference to test his logic. He outlined that logic in a commentary on Peter of Spain's Summulae logicales, and his theory of impetus help undermine support for the Aristotelian view of the heavens. While his Summulae de dialectica was his most influential work, we know him today for his work on akrasia in his commentary on Aristotle. For ten points, identify this philosopher who has a famous decision problem involving his ass.
