[eBook] [PDF] For Ockham’s Nominalism A Philosophical Introduction 1st Edition By Claude Panaccio

 

William of Ockham (1287-1347) was an important thinker during the Middle Ages. He is known for a belief called nominalism, which says that things like ideas or qualities (like “redness” or “goodness”) don’t really exist in the world, but are just in our minds or words. Philosopher Claude Panaccio explains that Ockham’s view has three main ideas:

  1. There are no general qualities or ideas in the world.
  2. Things in the world aren’t connected by certain relationships.
  3. Numbers and amounts are not separate things in the world.

In simple terms, Ockham believed that the world is made up of individual things, and the ideas we use to describe them are just in our minds.
