William of Ockham (1287-1347) is oft considered the most important
nominalist thinker of the Middle Ages. Nominalism, a metaphysical
view that has had adherents throughout the history of Western
philosophy, largely denies the extramental existence of universals
and abstract objects by reducing them to linguistic or mental
items. Philosopher Claude Panaccio views Ockham's genre of
nominalism as consisting of three theses: that there are no
universals in the external world, no relations, and no quantities
considered as distinct entities. Claude Panaccio here displays the
outlines of a rich and carefully crafted nominalist system that is
still of great philosophical interest today. In so doing, the
volume situates Ockham's thought with respect to several salient
contemporary debates in philosophy. Ockham's Nominalism provides a
unique systematic introduction to his thought about universals,
relations, and quantities, situating his doctrines on these matters
with respect to today's debates in metaphysics, philosophy of mind,
philosophy of language, and epistemology.
