Description
This critical guide provides an in-depth examination of William of Ockham’s Summa Logicae, one of the most important logical treatises of the medieval period. The work explores Ockham’s revolutionary approach to logic, semantics, and metaphysics, which fundamentally challenged Aristotelian traditions and influenced centuries of philosophical discourse.
Compiled by leading Ockham scholars Claude Panaccio and Jenny Pelletier, this volume presents a systematic analysis of the Summa Logicae’s key concepts, arguments, and theoretical innovations. Readers will gain insight into Ockham’s treatment of terms, propositions, syllogistic logic, and his famous principle of parsimony. The guide contextualizes these ideas within medieval philosophical debates and demonstrates their relevance to modern logic and epistemology.
Essential for scholars of medieval philosophy, history of logic, and anyone seeking to understand Ockham’s intellectual legacy and impact on Western thought.
