Publisher's Synopsis
This volume presents an annotated translation of William of Ockham's treatise on the divine ideas, a key concept in medieval philosophy. Drawing on the Aristotelian notion of abstraction, Ockham argues for the reality of abstract objects and their role in grounding knowledge of sensible things. The book includes an introductory essay on Ockham's life and thought, as well as explanatory notes on the text.
