Ockham Explained is an important and much-needed resource on William of Ockham, one of the most important philosophers of the Middle Ages. His eventful and controversial life was marked by sharp career moves and academic and ecclesiastical battles. At 28, Ockham was a conservative English theologian focused obsessively on the nature of language, but by 40, he had transformed into a fugitive friar, accused of heresy, and finally protected by the German emperor as he composed incendiary treatises calling for strong limits on papal authority.

William Ockham's thought is usually discussed one tiny piece at a time and only in the context of some other topic. but if you only try to understand how his razor influences scientific thinking, or how he was a foil for Thomas Aquinas, you are going to get him all wrong. this concise, thorough, and factual lecture will give you what you need to know to discuss Ockham's ideas and understand his influence accurately. it will also give you the opportunities become very annoyed at YouTube videos that get him all wrong.

Aristotle wrote on everything from the shape of seashells to sterility, from speculations on the nature of the soul to meteorology, poetry, art, and even the interpretation of dreams. Apart from mathematics, he transformed every field of knowledge that he touched. Above all, Aristotle is credited with the founding of logic. When he first divided human knowledge into separate categories, he enabled our understanding of the world to develop in a systematic fashion.

Presentation Fine, Content Not Great
Revisado: 12-17-20
More time spent on authors' analysis of Aristotle then the philosophy of Aristotle itself.
Some great and detailed biographical details, if biography is what you're after, but you won't come out of this as someone who gets Aristotle if you didn't go in that way.
