G lancing 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. John XXII (left) and William of Ockham did not see eye to eye.

William of Ockham's Logical Transformations
William of Ockham (also known as William of Occam) was born in 1285 in Surrey, England, and lived until sometime around 1349. 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.

William of Ockham 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 1324 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.

    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

    Ockham's Razor

    Summary:
    Physicist Anthony Garrett explains the meaning of Ockham's Razor.
    Transcript:
    Robyn Williams: Is this the last year of the millennium, or the first? Well, whatever you think about that, there is one issue even more fractious from your letters to the Science Unit, and that’s the spelling of Ockham’s Razor: ‘ck’ or ‘cc’. You’d think the fate of the world depends upon it. As does the beginning of the millennium.
    Well today we hear from someone who’s keen to settle this major problem. Anthony Garrett, who’s been to see William of Ockham and finds him in very good form.
    Anton.
    Anthony Garrett: The village of Ockham is about 25 miles south-west of central London, in England. It is set off the main road from London to Portsmouth, the naval town on the south coast, and nowadays the intersection of this road and the London orbital motorway lies in Ockham Wood. In this small village, seven centuries ago, a boy named William was brought up. As William of Ockham, he became a famous theologian, and today his name is known worldwide for the principle of logic called Ockham’s Razor, which states, broadly, that you should prefer the simplest explanation to fit the facts. He is commemorated in his own village by a window in the parish church. I will tell William’s story and the story of his razor principle, which has recently found expression in my own field, probability theory. The ironies continue. The idea is most famous from a Latin aphorism, ‘Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem’, broadly, ideas should not proliferate unnecessarily. When most scholars were taught Latin, until just 30 or 40 years ago, this was a commonplace phrase. Although it was generally assumed to have been written by William, it was in fact a summary from half way between his time and ours, by an Irish scholar, John Ponce. The idea was finally given the name ‘Ockham’s Razor’ as recently as the 19th century, by William Hamilton, changing the use of ‘razor’ from William’s mind to the principle itself, presumably because it cuts away unnecessary complication.

    The Philosophy of William of Ockham in the Light of Its Principles Armand Maurer. Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies 1999. x, 590. $85.00
    Armand Maurer's new book on Ockham's philosophy is the fruit of more than four decades of work, which wins through to an irenic and much more accurate reading of Ockham than those of the author's eminent predecessors at pims, Etienne Gilson and Anton Pegis. Maurer wishes to strike the pose neither of the neo-Thomist apologist nor of the Ockhamist-devotee, but rather that of a fascinated interpreter seeking to elucidate the views of a brilliant but controversial Franciscan philosopher and theologian. Like all of Gaul, Maurer's book is divided into three parts.
