Giovanni Buridano

Giovanni Buridano

philosopher France

Giovanni Buridano was a French philosopher of the 14th century, known for his role as the rector of the University of Paris and for his commentaries on Greek philosophers. He is famously associated with the concept of decision-making, illustrated through the paradox of 'Buridan's ass,' which highlights the dilemma of choice and the consequences of indecision. His work, while not directly documenting this allegory, has influenced discussions on free will and rational choice throughout history.
