More than any other single thinker, William of Ockham (c.1285-1347)
is responsible for the widely held modern assumption that religious
and secular-political institutions should normally operate
independently of one another. Today, when this assumption is
questioned in some quarters, Ockham's analysis of the basis and
functions of authority in spiritual and temporal affairs is of
current as well as historical interest. His point of departure was
a tragic collision between two specifically Christian ideals: the
Franciscan conception of Christ's lordship (as lacking material
wealth and power) and the ideal of a society guided by the single
supreme authority of Christ's vicar, the Pope. This volume begins
with Ockham's personal account of his engagement in that conflict
and continues with important passages from the major works in which
he attempted to resolve it.
