GUILLERMO OF OCKHAM

"God can do all that, to be done, does not contradict"

William of Ockham Arguably Ockham is a philosopher quite original, although many of the themes that will deal had been initiated by Duns Scotus, and others (particularly the logic of the thirteenth century). Ockham developed themes that characterized the concerns of the intellectuals of his time and represents a turning point in the history of scholastic thinking.

ckham is not a systematic thinker as it were, Thomas Aquino, her role is essentially that of a critic.

His criticism will produce the independence of philosophy that will begin to focus on other issues such as Nature.

The principles addressed by Ockham fudamentales are regarded himself as "Aristotle", however, pose in practice, a clear break with the Greek tradition and scholastic earlier.

In fact, represent an innovation in the history of philosophy.
