Books by William of Ockham

This is an English translation of the "Quodlibetal Questions" of William of Ockham, reflections on a variety of topics in logic, ontology, natural philosophy, philosophical psychology, moral theory and theology.

Includes an introduction by Marilyn McCord Adams along with Notes and Appendices.

The Short Discourse is a passionate but compelling statement of Ockham's position on the most fundamental political problem of the medieval period.

More than any other single thinker, William of Ockham (c.1285-1347) is responsible for the widely held modern assumption that religious and secular-political institutions should operate independently of one another.The writings in this volume chart his engagement with the conflicting issues of political and religious authority in society.
