Aspects On A Decisive Notion in Ockham's Corpus: the Causality
Abstract
A large number of William of Ockham's contemporary scholars have used his nominalism to address a number of ideas about ontology, philosophy, nature, metaphysics, anthropology, etc., which are scattered throughout his work, especially in his commentary on the Sentences, his physical and logical writings and the Quodlibets. However, it hasn't been explored that much the possibility of studying these works transversally following what we consider to be one of their main threads: the notion of causality. In fact, at the base of this concept there is a whole complex of ontological and gnoseological ideas that define Ockhamism; in turn, this notion has decisive consequences with regard to various objects, from nature and its relations with God, to man and society.Downloads
