O " proposition
In the traditional notation for categorical logic , a proposition that is both particular and negative Example: "Some trees are not evergreens." Such a proposition affirms that there is at least one tree that is not also an evergreen. Its contradictory is an A " proposition with the same subject and predicate terms.
objective / subjective
Distinction between propositions or judgments about the way things are and those about how people think or feel about them. The truth of objective claims is presumed to be entirely independent of the merely personal concerns reflected in subjective expressions, even though is difficult to draw the distinction precisely. Thus, for example: "Spinach is green" is objective, while "I like spinach" is subjective. "Seventy-three percent of people in Houston don't like spinach," however, seems to be an objective claim about certain subjects. The legitimacy of this distinction is open to serious question, since it is unclear whether (and how) any knowing subject can achieve genuine objectivity. Nevertheless, because objective truth is supposed to carry undeniable persuasive force, exaggerated claims of objectivity have often been used as tools of intellectual and social oppression.

William (of) Ockham/Occam and Ockham's Razor
William of Ockham, also called William Ockham (Ockham also spelled " Occam") (1285-1347/49), was a medeival monk.. (a scholastic) Ockham's razor, also spelled "Occam's razor", but also called "law of economy" or "law of parsimony", is a principle stated by William of Ockham , that entities are not to be multiplied beyond necessity (non sunt multiplicanda entia praeter necessitatem). This principle was, in fact, invoked before Ockham by Durand de Saint-Pourcain, a French Dominican theologian and philosopher of dubious orthodoxy, who used it to explain that abstraction is the apprehension of some real entity. Galileo did something similar by defending the simplest hypothesis of the heavens, and other later scientists stated similar simplifying laws and principles. It is called " Ockham's razor" because he mentioned the principle so frequently and employed it so sharply. For instance, he used it
  • to dispense with relations which he held to be nothing distinct from their foundation in things;
  • with efficient causality, which he tended to view merely as regular succession;

    Biography
    William of Ockham, born in the village of Ockham in Surrey (England) about 1285, was the most influential philosopher of the 14th century and a controversial theologian. He entered the Franciscan order at an early age and took the traditional course of theological studies at Oxford. Strong opposition to his opinions from members of the theological faculty prevented him from obtaining his Master's degree. His teaching had also aroused the attention of Pope John XXII, who summoned him to the papal court in Avignion (France) in 1324. The charges against him were presented by Jogh Lutterell, the former chancellor of the university of Oxford. Ockham was never condemned, but in 1327, while residing in Avignion, he became involved in the dispute over apostolic poverty. When this controversy reached a critical stage in 1328, and the Pope was about to issue a condemnation of the position held by the Franciscans, Ockham and two other Franciscans fled from Avignion to seek the protection of Emperor Louis IV, the Bavarian. They followed the emperor to Munich (Germany) in 1330, where Ockham wrote fervently against the papacy in a series of treatises on papal power and civil sovereignty. The medieval rule of parsimony, or principle of economy, frequently used by Ockham came to be known as

    John XXII (left) and William of Ockham did not see eye to eye. Glancing over his shoulder, William of Ockham breathed a sigh of relief. He was well outside the white stone walls of Avignon. He and his two companions had moved quickly in the last hour, only too glad to be in fresh air, rather than in a musty prison within the pope's fortress palace. They had almost come to that. For William of Ockham was in trouble. A scholarone of the greatest of the Middle Ageshe had spoken his mind too freely.

    Famous fourteenth century intellectual, of Ockham's Razor fame, who joined the Franciscan order and studied at Oxford, where he was a contemporary of Jean Buridan , and Paris. He went further than Buridan in modifying Aristotle 's doctrine of natural place by arguing that the elements in each world would return to their natural place within their own world, without any intervention by God. Although he began by supporting pluralism , he later became a strong opponent of the idea, citing the view that neither other worlds nor the creation of man elsewhere were mentioned in the Scriptures.

    smkaye@is.dal.ca ABSTRACT: Realism and conventionalism generally establish the parameters of debate over universals. Do abstract terms in language refer to abstract things in the world? The realist answers yes , leaving us with an inflated ontology; the conventionalist answers no Realism and conventionalism are commonly taken to be the primary contenders in the debate over universals. Does abstract language refer to abstract things in the world? The realist answers yes, leaving us with an inflated ontology, the conventionalist answers no, leaving us with subjective categories. In this paper I would like to defend a third possibility which aims to preserve objectivity without multiplying objects. It is nominalism, in the original, medieval sense of the word or more specifically, in the Ockham sense of the word. Willard Quine once remarked that "the nominalists of old . . . object to admitting abstract entities at all, even in the restrained sense of mind-made entities." supposition theory did have its advantages, one of which was the way that it clarified the disagreement between realists and antirealists over meaning and reference. We need to see what each of these linguistic concepts amounts to for Ockham in order to see how he explains abstract language.

Ockham (who entered the Franciscan order and studied and taught at the University of Oxford from 1309 to 1319) was known as Doctor Invincibilis (from the Latin, meaning "unconquerable doctor") and Venerabilis Inceptor (meaning "worthy initiator"). a Ockham was a philosopher and Scholastic theologian, and also won fame as a logician. During the course of his logical investigations, Ockham discovered the foundations for what were to become known as DeMorgan Transformations , which were described by Augustus DeMorgan some 500 years later. To celebrate Ockham's position in history, the OCCAM computer programming language was named in his honor.
