Description: Occam (1287-1347) was one of the most important philosophers of the Middle Ages. By Paul Vincent Spade.
William of Ockham (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) First published Fri Aug 16, 2002; substantive revision Sat Jul 2, 2011 William of Ockham (c. 1287–1347) is, along with Thomas Aquinas and John Duns Scotus, among the most prominent figures in the history of philosophy during the High Middle Ages. He is probably best known today for his espousal of metaphysical nominalism; indeed, the methodological principle known as “Ockham's Razor†is named after him. But Ockham held important, often influential views not only in metaphysics but also in all other major areas of medieval philosophy—logic, physics or natural philosophy, theory of knowledge, ethics, and political philosophy—as well as in theology.
