William of Ockham
William of Ockham (ca. ) was a Franciscan friar and philosopher , from Ockham (near Ripley, Surrey), England. William devoted to a life to extreme poverty and minimalism. A pioneer of nominalism , some consider him the father of modern epistemology and modern philosophy in general, because of his strongly argued position that only individuals exist, rather than supra-individual universals, essences, or forms, and that universals are the products of abstraction from individuals by the human mind and have no extra-mental existence. Ockham is also considered one of the greatest logicians of all time. Dave Beckett of the University of Kent at Canterbury writes:
"The medieval rule of parsimony, or principle of economy, frequently used by Ockham came to be known as Ockham's razor."
Summoned to Avignon in by Pope John XXII on accusation of heresy, William spent four years there in effect under house arrest while his teaching and writing were being investigated. During this period, at the request of Brother Michael of Cesena , head of the Franciscan order, Ockham investigated the controversy between the Franciscans and the Papacy on the doctrine of apostolic poverty, which was central to Franciscan doctrine but anathema to the Pope. Ockham concluded that Pope John XXII was a heretic, a position that he later put forth in writing. Before a conclusion was reached about the heresy or orthodoxy of William's philosophy, he fled Avignon on

Eight Questions Dialogue Macquarie University
POL167: Introduction to Political Theory
William of Ockham, Eight Questions Dialogue : Reading Guide
R.J. Kilcullen (The Readings book contains extracts.) In Eight Questions Ockham states and compares various answers to a set of questions someone active in politics had sent to him and to others (one other set of answers survives). It is one of Ockham's 'recitative' works, in which he does not indicate which of the various opinions is his. Read iii.1 (i.e. question 3, ch. 1) This states several theories which imply an affirmative answer to the question. Theory (a), 'fullness of power': This is the theory criticised in Short Discourse , book ii. Theory (b): There ought to be one world ruler (though without 'fullness of power' in the objectionable sense), who should be the pope. The argument for this theory ('It is also proved by reason...') is constructed from materials taken from Marsilius of Padua (p. 80, in Readings ), but (b) is not Marsilius' theory: he does not hold that the pope should be the supreme ruler. Perhaps Ockham thought that Christians would have to hold that any ruler as strong as the one Marsilius advocated would have to be the head of the Church. Read iii.2

Feature Article William of Ockham Cutting out the fat RATE THIS ARTICLE "Fanaticism consists in redoubling your effort when you have forgotten your aim." -George Santayana I have a vivid recollection of one of my professors whose specialty was formal logic, relating with relish how, in some academic dispute or other things had gotten rather ugly. I remember terms like "blood on the floor". To a young student, laboring under the illusion that in academia there was little room for raw emotion much less out and out warfare, this came as quite a shock. Were not these to be temples of logic and reasoned discourse? Now I learned that just as in more mainstream human activity, if you couldn't win your point by the strength of your argument there was always brute force. I am not suggesting physical violence of course, although even that may happen on occasion. The bludgeoning is more usually inflicted by mental techniques such as belittling an opponent or by the more subtle "straw man" tactic where instead of attacking an idea you attack the person offering it. I use this little personal anecdote to introduce one of my heroes, William of Ockham or as I like to call him William van Ockham. Van Ockham was born around the year 1285 in Surrey, England. That would make him a sort of successor to Roger Bacon who died in 1294. Although like Bacon, he was involved with the order of the Franciscans it is not known whether he was familliar with the other man's work.

Posted on Sun May 2nd, 2004 at 01:45:03 PM PST William of Ockham provides two answers to the question of whether or not a Christian can be a good citizen. These two answers are predicated on Ockham's understanding of two of the different senses he gives to natural law: natural law as the ordained power of God, natural law as freedom, natural law as rights. Christians that live according to natural law in the second of these senses (freedoms), Ockham holds incapable of being good citizens. Christians that live according to natural law in the third of these senses (rights), Ockham holds to be capable of being good citizens. Ockham divides natural law into into two categories. The first category (lex naturalis) is held by Ockham to be more or less equivalent to the ordained power of God. (This sense will be referred to herein as natural law .) The second category (jus naturale) is subdivided into two distinct senses. The first of these senses of lex naturale consists of the freedoms that were the natural state of men and women before the fall of Adam and Eve into sin. (This sense will be referred to herein as natural law .) The second sense of lex naturale consists of the rights that were bestowed on humanity as being the natural state of mankind after the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden as punishment for sin. (This sense will be referred to herein as natural law

Posted on Sun May 2nd, 2004 at 10:55:42 AM PST Ockham gives apparently contradictory answers to the question of the best forms of government in the Church and state. With regards to the state, Ockham argues that the highest purpose of the government is to correct and punish evildoers and, therefore, the best form of government is the form that can best punish the wicked: a monarch or emperor. With regards to the Church, Ockham argues that the best form of government varies from time to time and place to place depending on the needs of the Church. These apparently contradictory answers stem from a single principle. The best form of government for Ockham is the one that serves the common good. Ockham views the common good in the state to be temporal peace and the common good in the Church to be the teaching of sound doctrine. Because the common good is defined so differently in these two realms, Ockham's answers seem greatly disparate, but there is an underlying unity. Ockham agreed with Augustine that the common good to which the state is directed is temporal peace. In Ockham's view temporal peace is brought about entirely by punishing those who break the law. As a consequence, Ockham considered that the government best able to punish lawbreakers, a solitary autocrat, is the best government. Ockham held that plurality in government leads to discord which disrupts temporal peace by leading to ineffectual punishment of those who do wrong. A solitary autocrat, however, with a unified will and a single purpose can effectively enforce temporal peace.

William of Ockham
(c.1300-1349)
The English philosopher, theologian, logician, political writer and Franciscan monk whose name is honored in the principle called "Ockham's razor" (also called the principle of parsimony), which states that "Entities shall not be multiplied beyond necessity" and means that in scientific proofs you should always search for the simplest hypothesis and never make more assumptions than you absolutely need. Get out your Ockham's razor and cut, cut, cut. Is the principle always valid? The philosopher A.R. Lacey says: "Adoption of this principle, though seemingly obvious, leads to problems about the role of simplicity in science, especially when we are choosing between hypotheses that are not (or are not known to be) equivalent. There are often different and clashing criteria for what is the simplest hypothesis, and it is not clear whether a simpler hypothesis is pro tanto more likely to be true; and if not, what justification other than laziness there is for adopting it."

William of Ockham Biography
From the Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Excerpt: William of Ockham, the Franciscan school man, nominalist, and " doctor invincibilis ," was born at Ockham in 1280 and died in Munich on April 10, 1349. Of his early life, little is known. From the scarce data, it may be concluded that he entered the Franciscan order at an early age. He received his bachelor's degree at Oxford, and his master's at Paris, where he taught from a date between 1315 and 1320. The tradition that he was a pupil of Duns Scotus is probably correct. There is no evidence that he returned to England and taught at Oxford. In any case, it is with Paris that his principal teaching activity is connected. His doctrines had taken such hold there by 1339 that the philosophical faculty felt obliged to issue a warning against them.
